Painted fuel rail covers?
My vette color is LMB. I am going to add painted fuel rail cover soon. What color do you think will look best, red or lemans blue? I'm thinking red will look cool. Wait, LMB will look cool! Heck, I don't! HELP!!!

In same boat myself, but leaning toward red. Had red LS6 covers on my Electron Blue C6 and it looked great. Don't want to be a poser and put red LS7 covers on this car though.
But I take my covers off when I road course or drag race... and I have a heck of a time getting them back on. Those that have painted covers, don't they chip up on the fuel line? Is there a trick to getting the fuel line in there without chipping them up?

I think either color would look good. Just depends on your preference. I have Victory Red fuel rail covers on my Victory Red Corvette. Red looks good in the black engine bay. I also have a Daytona Blue 350Z with bright red brake calipers. I love the contrast of the red and blue. At the same time I have Daytona Blue engine, battery and brake fluid covers in the Z. They look good against the black in the engine bay.

Just my opinion, but consider Monty red FRC's with a LMB coupe. Someone posted a pic of this combo several months ago, and it looked sharp!

My underhood insulation was immediately pulled too. It most certainly does trap heat and dulls the melody emanating from the engine bay.
I kept this junk ( and I mean that ) for when I sell the car. These parts will certainly look brand new.
I hardly ever open my hood so I don't miss these important items. It is tough to drive with the hood up and since most of my time with the car is spent DRIVING and not parked at some car show this works for me. I just don't get the mentality of competing with other owners , all of whose engine compartments are identical to each other, with added bling.
If it don't make it go it doesn't belong on a performance car. I would have ordered AC delete if I'd had the opportunity.

I like the look of matching the exterior color. So, LMB. Here's my matching color Monterey Red:
