Default Tried something new with MSG!

Well, I wanted an accent color to go with my MSG and I took a chance on MAG RED II. What do you think? Thanks to Ken at Vetteshop.cc I have the engine pieces. The quality and fast shipping is amazing. I also did all four brakes and brackets the same color with the polished mirror pad covers. The rotors are GM from Ken Fichtner Chevrolet. I know the pics aren't great but it's 8pm in Germany and I couldn't wait til tomorrow. What do you guys think I should go with for the plenum? Should I go Mag Red II or Polished SS? Oh, can someone tell me why my writing shows so wide on the screen. Sorry about that.

I love it. I thought you were talking about MSG Monosodium Glutamate, not spiral gray. Looks great, and unique too!

Looks great!

I wouldn't cover the plenum...personally I just don't like the looks of the covers and think the plenum itself looks pretty wicked.

I'm with Dave on this also! It is a very interestring contrast. I never thought to consider the red for my engine bay. I'm still waiting for my order to come in and my bay will finally be complete. Mine's also a contrast, but let me keep it a secret until all parts come in. Once installed, I'll take pics and post it and also PM you and Dave since the three of us picked the best exterior color.

I too was thinking this post was about Chinese food.

You're in Germany? Would that be a vette owner's dream? The autobahn........oh my.

UNBELIEVEABLE! That color combo is BAD
Go with SS for your plenum.
Good job

Nice contrast! I think you hit it on the head. What were your other choices prior to picking the Mag Red?

Have you given any thought to going with MSG to separate the Mag Red, while not adding another scheme.

BTW very nice choice in accent color. Don't think that I've seen that combination.
