Hey its my car.
The intake on that car was sanded to remove all of the texture, and then painted with a high gloss paint. This was done by one of the previous owners. He also had painted all of the plastic garnish pieces chameleon, then the next owner sprayed the black you see over top of them, as they were not to his taste (or mine). You will encounter vaccum lines that may need replacing (a good idea to do while you have the area open) I would also suggest changing the PCV valve and cleaning the inside of the intake, as oil will occasionally build up.
