Yup, just as the title stated, I am looking for a blue C5 with a red engine bay. Not as tastefully done as this guy, but something sublte and hopefully nice. I am planning on doing my engine bay in red, so I just wanted to get some ideas before I spoil a vette.

Here are a few pictures of my C5 which I sold a couple years ago. It had "some" red under the hood...

I had never noticed the upside down CORVETTE emblem on the e-brake one untill now. I'm assuming that it's for when ever he looks at the e brake from the drives side haha.

That is pretty subtle; I like it. This is what I was looking for, thanks!

I'm thinking of doing the same thing with some engine covers on mine - torch red for some color and IMO it would go well with a blue exterior.

I need to re-touch my brake calipers too; it has been three years since I painted them, and I have a couple of rock chips on them. I was thinking about using the same red-caliper paint on them.

its a dire distress call made by the poor C5, apparently no one has answered the call and saved the car from its owner...

One of the things I had done to my old C5 that I really liked were the Carbon Fibre wheel well covers seen in the picture below. That is one part of the engine bay that never seems to look right when left stock...

I presently own a 2008 Z06 and as far as aesthetics go, the C5 engine bays looks so much nicer....

Yeah, they do look flat specially if they get water drops on them it's a PITA to get them off.
