It sort of calls back to the days of the hot pink and chrome engine bays.

It will be head turner for sure.

Well the powder coating can be done fairly cheap as where the int. will take just a few more dollars I say go with the coloring first and then work on the other things.

oh yeah im trying to keep the raspberry to a minimum and have other stuff in the bay coated with silver/aluminum color to clean it up. Thats why Im gonna do the calipers and wait to see what else comes up. Im still up in the air about what im going to do with my interior but im sure ill make a thread on that when its inprogress/finished. No powdercoating inside lol

and i appreciate your opinions guys i know the color is hit or miss for some

Default plug wires?

I think you need to do something with those plug wires. The red really clashes with the raspberry.

Looks good. I'd get the alternator powdercoated to match then do everything else in black and silver. Black plug wires would be sharp with the intake.

I'd think matching the alternator would actually calm down the intake. That way it's not the only thing raspberry...or powdercoat it black, but that'll make the intake stand out even more. Of course, maybe that's a good thing.

I've got the all black look with just the fuel rail covers red.
