yea paint that red peice black or pewter....and i agree alot of pple that are around cars alot are going to come up with the, sooo "you got this car crashed right?" question...lol so you're officially warned, but other than that looks good on a newer car like these or others i'd rather have everything same color-keeps the value on the car up for many reasons and overall it "looks" more complete to an average person looking at it. Black engine bay on a pewter car says its been tore down and put back together one too many times for some reason 
but in most of our cases that is a good thing lol
