Black, I know I know.. with all the stuff I am working on, I am the one saying keep the engine bay simple... but IMHO you have a whole lot of clashing colors going on there... and you wanted to try to maintain some sort of stock appearance?

You have seen pictures of some of the stuff going into my engine bay, but all the lines, couplers, and such will remain black....

And I have a red car!

Green?

I am sure once my car is done, the reason for me sticking to understated lines and couplers and such will be self evident.. but that might be a little while...

Hopefully it is a short little while...

For a grey car, black is the way to go.

Black for sure, I don't like all the crazy wacky colors in the engine bay. Personal preference I guess...

Orange, second only to black.

I wish I had a car that could use some of those orange parts but that clashes with the guards red... Yes, it would be a style disaster under the hood of my car.

I'm with John, do the black. It looks cleaner and simpler IMO. You've already got re in there, so I you really wanted a color I think that would be the best. Just my $.02 tho

I went with black, but I am boring....
Only bad thing with black ( if you are going with silicone) is that any dirt shows up the most....
