Clear or Plexiglas manifold cover?

The 8 individual butterflies would be cool to see through a Plexiglas manifold cover. No such thing?

That would be cool to see moving internals.

I think EVOs had a clear plastic cam cover through the aftermarket. Would be pretty neat to see all 8 TBs working on the M3.

The butterflies are covered by another set of tubes though

if you can get those black tubes in plexiglass then, you can see it all:

those tubes likely "slot" into the slits in the OEM cover, facing the direction where the air is coming from.
