Default FRC idea...See what you think:

I'm considering ordering a set of black Carbon Fiber Fuel Rail Covers, and doing one of 2 or both of these to them.

1. True fire from Stryker
2. Polished Formula Badges from Dragon(on top of the FRC's)

So my question is will one, or both look silly or be too much. If I'm go with the the true fire, I will also have a Carbon Fiber/Clear airlid painted to match. With one of Firehawk's Aluminized intake covers. Am I wanting too much bling?

Option 2 sounds better. Why would you go to the expense of buying carbon fiber covers and then cover them up with paint?

Putting Trueflames next to carbon fiber would be like wearing a Hawaiian shirt with a pair of plaid pants: bigtime clash. Either one of these two looks needs to be contrasted with solid colors, otherwise it just looks too busy.

Personally, if it were my car, I'd do the Trueflames and polished Formula badges on the FRC's, and get a polished aluminum intake. But even if you didn't do the polished intake, painting your stock one a solid color that matched any of the colors on the FRC's would still look killer.

I'd vote neither.
If yer goin' for the CF look, then keep it clean & all CF.
Don't butter it up by adding more visual & mixing it up too much.
Also do the CF battery & fuse box covers & have one flowing clean package.

Runs home to change.......... Thanks for the input guys! I'm thinking the bling package from Chrome and performance, and some Polished letters from dragon.
