Default Need help choosing a color scheme

I've got a SOM WS6
Basically I've narrowed it down to 4 colors: Black, Silver or Chrome and SOM. Maybe some charcoal/dark grey thown in there?

I just did my head rests: SOM bird w/silver outline. Look great by the way major props to Grant.

1) Shifter **** would have to be silver or black from MBA

2) Hotchkis STB could be black or polished. I think the Signature series is silver but has red lettering on it. Depending on color of FRC's

3) Intake: I have no idea

4) Thottle body polished, charcoal, or orange. Jantzer has an orange color but not sure how that would look in my SOM engine bay. Not to mention it is not clearcoated so it look different than the outside.

5) FRC's: I was thinking either silver or charcoal with SOM lettering. OR maybe SOM with chrome lettering depending on the STB.

6) Lid: Some how tied into the FRC's. Kind of like that Red 35th SS on here with the stripes. Possibly a bird logo on it to match the lettering on the FRC's.

7) Cylinder head plaque: most likely have to be black with silver lettering since MBA doesn't have orange.

8) Calipers: Black with silver TransAm lettering. Again hard to match the SOM color

Opinions Appreciated

Possible pictures?

Thanks

Check out my webshots page for some color ideas. I can clear coat any color for more gloss. Check out the painted intake under the MISC. section.

I also added a couple more colors lately, brushed nickel metallic (silver metallic basically), and charcoal metallic.
