Default Need advice on what to do next

I have the intake out now being powder coated Mirror Black. I can not decide if I should put on polished fuel rails and relocate the coil packs then paint the valve covers. Or should I keep the stock fuel rails and keep the FRC's on.
What do you think?

Sorry the pictue is not the best.

The idea is If I change the fuel rails the FRC's would not be there so yes you would be able to see the coil packs

I think the powder coated intake, new fuel rails, and relocated coil packs, and painted valve covers would look best. I like being able to see the engine, the frc's kinda cover it all up. I think polishing the covers could look awesome too.

I just got the intake done in mirror black. I ordered the fuel rails today in polished and also ordered the relocation brackets for the coils. I plan to paint the valve covers maybe Red but I am not sure yet.
