Default Need something Badass..

OK, i am tired of looking @ my stock (dirty, dull) black Engine bay. I want to add some color. My car is Black, so I was thinking of a chrome, and bright blue Scheme. like the color of this face :p ..haha Umm, anyone know where I can get some stuff that is that color, like maybe wires and hoses. Does anyone have any pics of there own color schemes. Only thing is I am not too much on red or yellow, so the only other option on my car would have to be blue i am thinking.
Thanks alot. :p

you could have some fuel rail covers painted in that blue. also, you might be able to get a shock tower brace in blue. hmm... theres lots of paintable stuff in there, like the airbox and intake manifold.

Yeah, most of the stuff you could/should probably get pained blue, then some of the metal accessories, you can get powder coated blue (which may get expensive). I'd say, get some FRCs that're the color you want, then paint up a few accessories, and maybe some blue powder coat here and there (strut tower brace, etc) and voila.

I guess i would have to go with a powder coat if I didnt want it to crack and peel. Or is there some special paint that wont crack or peel? Or do I not need to do this myself.

The Holley Powershot, Accel Kool, Volant, and Donaldson Blackwing (non-OEM) filters are all blue.

How about Kool filter/clear lid. That color blue FRC's with Silver lettering, chrome BMR STB, !Wire mod, varios chrome or polished caps for the fluid containers. I imagine it would look REALLY nice.
