Thanks! I bought the 12 oz. spray paint can online here's the address: http://www.automotivetouchup.com/. You can enter the information of your car there my color code is 3L2 and it is the same paint I used for my splitters. Then I used duplicolor top coat from a local pep boys shop.

There can be other cheaper online sites though I bet, this is just the one I thought was fast. It took like just 5-6 days for shipping. Another sight I know is http://www.paintscratch.com.

Thanks again slick! I envy your engine! The fitment is fine. I took off the hood stand though, the bar that holds up the hood when you open it because I just didn't want the paint to get scratched when I close the hood.

if you have a good auto-body supply shop near you, they should be able to mix you up a can of just about any factory color you need.
check your local yellowpages or whatever, or order from one of the online places that K suggested.
looks good K

You're right. I didn't think about the hood stand. I might have to do the same thing when mine arrives, but i don't know what color, if any, i'm going to paint it.

Oh... seems like there is a scratch, my friend did the same while opened the package with a cutter...
But it looks great with red.

actually it's just dirt that came from the rubber on top of the hood. and i also have an injen decal that i painted red along with it. if you can see it is embossed on the top left side. im satisfied so its all good. thanks for the complements!
