Default LTx Powdercoated Engine Parts - Need Ideas

I'm doing a cam swap soon and I can get really, really good deals on powdercoating so I'm thinking of getting some stuff done. I'm just not sure what.

I want to get the intake manifold painted red, but besides that I have no clue. Any ideas?

My intake manifold, alternator, and assesory bracket are ceramic coated. My valve covers, strut tower bar, thermostat housing, and power steering pump are powdercoated. My friend used to powder coat professionally and most of the parts on my car are from his, before he started the craziness in his engine bay.

Mine:
Since I've added a ram air hood and painted box, and a polished brake master cylinder to clean things up a bit.


His:
Wiring harness is hidden and all the holes were covered/filled in.

Would LOVE to see more pictures of both engine bays, if you have them.
