Default Engine bays on red cars???

Anybody have pics of their modified engine bay on a red car? I am trying to go in one direction with the engine bay color scheme but don't know exactly what I want yet. I thought if I had some pics of your setups I could see what I like or don't like as much.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks, its a SLP Lid that I had painted to match my fuel rail covers. I need to update my photos b/c i have taken out some of the red wire loom in the middle of the engine and replaced it with Black, so I have red loom on the outer edges of the engine and black in the middle. I'm not sure what type of paint the guy used, i do know that the paint is color matched to the car.
