Engine Bay Color, advice needed
Well, it's kind of ironic that I have helped so many people with their engine bay color decisions, that I can't figure out my own. The color scheme will be black/yellow, but i do not know what color for what parts.
I have already decided on a few things....
Lindsey Racing Fuel Injector/Knock Sensor Harness - Yellow
Fuel Rail - Black
Vacuum Lines - Yellow
Evolution Motorsports Bypass Valve - Black
Now where I need help.....
cam tower - yellow w/ blck letters OR black w/ yellow letters
SFR Intake Manifold
SFR Intercooler Pipes
SFR MAF Intake Pipe

Since your car is yellow, a yellow cam tower would be a little much. Go with a black cam tower and yellow letters, and black pipes with yellow hosing.

No yellow hosing.... Only 1 company makes it, SAMCO, and the pricing is HIGH

Please tell me that you aren't buildng the truly nolen porsche experience!!!
Yellow/Black Lts on the cam tower with a most unique intake. As you've done many solid color intakes, what's to say that you can't two-tone an intake? Black base, black throttle body connection, yellow pipes.

The polished stuff doesn't have to be mirrored finish. There are stages of finishing that look more like brushed alumium.
Keeping an engine clean isn't all that difficult. A little Simple Green goes a long way.
