engine cover

need some ideas on what color I should paint my engine cover, and all those other plastic covers..I have an 07 black on black..Not really sure what would look good..Could some of you guys post some pics up, thinking about sleeving all the hoses to..Not sure if its worth doing since all I plan on getting for the engine is an intake..oh well, opinions..thanks

Isn't your oem cover already black ?
How about red, red/black in the engine bay looks like this

Perhaps Silver for the engine cover? Make it contrast with the rest of the whip

that red looks nice man, I just don't want to come off as ricy/ tacky you know..Being your car is already red, it kinda matches..Not sure what it will look/portray considering my car is black, and then having red painted parts..silver might be good though, nice and subtle

Go CF, nice touch. Or use a nice textured paint...
(I left the rest of my covers off, I like the way it looks)

I painted mine last week. I've made several changes though. New oil cap, Stillen FSTB, sivler braided lines, black/grey wire loom, etc...

Im taking more pics tomorrow.

You should do gloss black. It will look stock but with a nice shine.
