Also, less plastic, more speed-bits.

I think they look fine, nothing else is polished in there...

If the red plenums weren't raw cast and were a gloss paint ten I'd agree with you.

Yes! It's a Ferrari not a Lexus, the motor should be prominently displayed.

Just my opinion but they need to stop feeding the intakes viagra

The matte surface allows for better heat dissipation. (a tiny bit of) Function > Form.

I think there may be a reason for it. If you are talking about the extended bits on the manifold.

Other than the intake bellows and the trim below the windshield (both necessary), none of the plastic is covering the engine. Those big black covers over each fender are covering stuff like the brake master cylinder, wiring, shock towers, and other such unattractive components.

I agree. In fact, polished runners would look out of place not just because the plenums are crinkle-finish red, but because Ferrari engines have traditionally had the same visual style.

Exactly. That crinkle finish is almost a trademark of Ferrari plenums.
