Should I paint my TB red???
 
Here's a pic of my engine bay:

and here's a pic of a similar engine bay with red TB:

I don't know, I kind of like it but am not totally sold... What do you think?

Also, if I do the TB, should I do the MAF ends as well???

Or hell, maybe do the TB and MAF in gloss black???

My car is in sig below:

I say get it red only if youre going to have a full red theme under the hood. Otherwise Id kinda like to see it match the exterior of your car with a dark blue coat. That and your second pic doesnt work. :judge:

I have red calipers, red Z in the Z28 emblem and am considering black leather seats with RED inserts if this changes your mind...

My only thing is that it bothers me when I see a dark engine bay and a few brightly colored objects that look somewhat out of place in a single area. Perhaps if you went with a red manifold and lid as well?

I think black and red seats would look good though!

Yeah, I think I'll either leave it alone or go gloss black now...

I had my Bauer TB powdercoated Red to match the accents in my engine bay - I tried to balance Red, Silver and Chrome/Polished items - so I'm partial to the Red look... :)

It was at the top of the forum when I was going through posts. Someone must have voted on it yesterday evening.
