need some ideas I have done some dressing up on the engine bay but my air lid didn't match. It kind of stuck out so I decided to paint it. I got some paint that I thought would match the stripes on my hood but it was too light. Here are some pics of my lid before and after. Do you all think I should repaint it or is anything I might be able to do to tie it in. The bird on the lid is temporary I had it sitting here so I just slapped it on.

It's hard to tell with the lighting differences, but I think it looks pretty damn good from what I can see. Definitely an improvement over the before pic. Me likey, I'd keep it, but it's your car...

Well my stripes are darker but I do like this color. The problem I have is it doesn't blend in with the rest of my engine bay. I'm thinking of just getting a carbon fiber one and calling it a day. Maybe some red decals could help?

paint the fuel rail covers to match, but keep (redo) the yellow frc lettering thats hot. or if u could match lid/frc's any way really

Fuel rail covers are carbon fiber, painting them would defeat the point of having them.
FYI the lettering on the fuel rail covers are reflective red decals
