stock look: i'd have everything black: hoses, IC pipes & intake. valve cover either gloss black or gloss grey (80%)
WOW! look: IC pipes & intake: either polished or chrome. hoses and all or most rubber bits red, and the valve cover gloss black.

Stock look enhancement: silver lines, polished cam tower and intake. Black hoses and IC pipes.
Aftermarket look: Sparkly gold cam tower, intake. I'd say somewhere in between the power steering tank and your throttle cam would look nice in contrast with the green. IC pipes could be gold or polished, I can't decide. Red hoses and wires.
And last but not least... a pink oil filter!

Wrinkle paint is nice, especially for a factory type finish.
When I think about it, a plain look is the best given the yearly inspection.. not good if they think the car is overly modded.

Obviously I like the wrinkle paint look. Over time I have had some issue with it bubbling from heat. It was not cheap paint either, is was a well done powder coat job.
If I redo it at some point I will have it anodized black. At this point I have really lost interest in my 951 and it sits under a cover in my shop.
