Default Red Fuel Rail Covers?

I'm going to buy the BlueCoupe a Valentine's Day present, and am considering a little engine dress up. Painted fuel rail covers, radiator cover, and air bridge is where I think I'll start.

The problem is that I can't decide between LMB or VR.

Any thoughts, convincing arguments, pix, etc. would be seriously appreciated. Also if you have done anything else that worked out well like chromed caps, etc., I'm all .

Thanks for any and all help!

i struggled(still am)with the decision to order the silver metalic over the lemans blue. on the one hand i love the blue but i figured over time i would probably like the silver more. i'm getting up there in years and as much as the vette stands out in a crowd i didnt want to stand out any more. i got the tinted roof panel to offset the silver and would have dont the same with the blue. heck, blondes redheads........you know what i mean.

Nothing shines up like the LMB. If you love to polish (Rejex or Zanio), the LMB is for you. There is nothing better than spending a Saturday afternoon cleaning and polishing the LMB (of course you also need the mandatory cold drinks) then taking out at sunset for a little spin.

I have LMB fuel rail covers with the red letters. I like the look. I haven't added anything else in the engine bay - yet.

Some of you guys aren’t reading the entire original post.
He already has a Blue C6 and he’s looking to get fuel rail covers and is deciding between RED & BLUE.

I myself am debating this question too. I have a blue C6.
Can’t decide between RED or BLUE for the covers…or just stick with the black.

Default Hello PABlueCoupe

Hello from Lansdale!

I went with the red on blue fuel rail covers. Here's the picture with the FRC's and the alternator. I just added the air bridge decal that looks quite nice as well.

I hope this helps with the choice!

Your Friend in Southeastern PA,

Hello DEO!

The convertible LMB looks great. Is that Rejex?

When the LeMans Blue is just cleaned and waxed, all others pale!

Keep up the nice work - Jonathan

I "settled" for blue when I really wanted a DSOM coupe in 2004. I couldn't be happier with the LMB. It really sparkles when it's washed and polished - more so than any other car I've ever had. Silver and chrome under the hood sets it off well.
