Are there any thick plastic or any type of covers that you can put on the upper intake manifold. Like a variety of other cars?

Black, possibly a Silver would look good to color the 3400. Not sure about the wireloom doing it all white might be to much.

I am thinking of doing the cover, white with black writing "3400" and then doing some of the wireloom just in black, but to do a few in red. To not over do it. Thoughts and suggestions?

Hmmm, I know your car is white, but I'm not so sure that painting it to color match is the best option, I think that it looked good in black and would look just as good in a white car. Just my 2 cents...

If i paint the cover black, I might do the 3400 in silver or white. And what color do you suggest wirelooming it? The sparkplug wires are red.

I would go with red since your sparkplug wires are already red

Any possible way to to the cover or lettering in a chrome (or somewhat reflective chrome like look)?
I've been thinking about getting one and doing a green base/chrome lettering scheme.

By the way... I can't seem to find it off gmpartsdirect. Do you have the part# for it?

If you haven't painted it already here's my input :P

I think that it would look good color matched to your car...and if you did it white, I would still do silver letters (I thought about red to match your wires but that would be kind of ricey) and black letters would contrast too much IMO. So there it is, my $0.02

keep in mind that your spark plug wires are hidden by this cover. try to stick to only two covers in the engine bay...maybe same two colors everywhere.

it would be cool to match the cover to your interior color IE if your interior is tan then get color matching paint for the cover, then maybe white letters???

I agree to keeping it simple under the hood...I don't know which option I would like matching the exterior, interior, or just painting it black...they all sound like they would look pretty good. I'd say you're on your own. :P

mmm...I'd say exterior color. It is kind of a hard call though...
