So I'm doing a little overhaul on my engine bay cause it's really boring me.

This is where it's at...



This is what I have in mind. (THIS IS PHOTSHOPPED) The hybrid fuel rail with the gauge is already bought and I bought a skunk2 oil cap. I plan on polishing my IM soon and I want to wrap my intake in heat wrap. What do you guys think is the best color for the valve cover? I have a purple Yospeed tie bar but I'm not sure if purple is going to look the best. Here is an animation. Feel free to choose a different color. I was thinking of doing a design on the cover too.

Thanks!!!

Candy teal. Or if you're spraying it yourself get the torque n teal high heat engine paint by duplicolor. It looks sick and it shines real good. I used it to paint my wheels and this is how they came out before clear coat. Plus it would look good with the purple tie bar.

Just my opinion though.

I was thinking about a color similar to that.

wow, you have some skills in PS. nice work.
Haha thanks!

Type R wrinkle red... Looks sick with the emblems
I said before I don't want wrinkle red. It's too over done. It does look good though.

I am spraying it myself. I do like that color, it is one of the colors I was really considering.

That is a tough one, all the colors look good. It really depends on what you want. do you want something simple or crazy and wild. I had mine painted black chrome for a nice sleek look
Well I don't want simple. I'd like it to stand out a little bit. That is why I was thinking of doing a design.
