Which looks better
Which of these fuel rail and plenum cover options look the best.
The full CF shroud or the one with the regular fuel rail covers and the CF plenum?

I think the less you cover up the better. I just leave the manifold as is. I prefer being able to see the actual engine components, not a bunch of plastic covers.

I like the regular fuel rail covers and the CF plenum cover.

I like the first one better with the painted fuel rail covers.
Personally, I'm getting a little tired of the carbon fiber look maybe because I've been to too many car shows lately. Some still pull off the look, however IMO when you cover all the components with that stuff, it all blends in a looks the same.
I will search around for the picture, however I've seen some really nice engine bays that tastefully have mixed a few carbon fiber pieces, chrome caps/pieces and colored hoses.
