lt2 intake shave

Hey guys i decide to shave the exterior of my lt2 intake. I saw some people doing it and think it look very good. But is it dangerous doing this? I dont plan to run a power adder but want to be sure the intake wont crack under load if all the plastic line on the exterior are remove.

I attached it so when your external link inevitably breaks years later, people can still see this amazing job you did painting this intake.

What color is that? Damn nice looking.
