Black or Red will always look Kick ***! Good thing is your car is black so if you dont paint the engine bay it will still look ok.

I think red is the best on our cars, but it does attract Cops more!

Stay black. A color change is a real pain and IMO, black is a great color.

i'd definitely stay black. i'm getting ready to paint mine as well but mine will stay black. a guy i know has a 69 nova that he just got painted black...the painter used a different paint on it and his car looks like you could walk into it...its the most amazing black i've ever seen. that's exactly what's going on my car
