Default Decorate Carbon Fiber Engine Covers?

Need some advice. I purchased a set of APR CF engine covers. Normally, they come with "Stingray" on the fuel rails in red. But mine came plain as pictured below.

So I am seeking the collective's wisdom if I should just leave them blank, or perhaps apply something else. I put a few ideas in the poll but if you have an idea and source for something better, please post your suggestion!

Here is what I got as the canvas.




The car is Torch Red Z51, and has the Carbon Flash emblems on the exterior.

I would add the red Stingray on the fuel rails, gives it a bit more pop and goes well with your exterior.

I think the carbon flash corvette lettering would look good.

I think a set of Stingray emblems would look good on the covers.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll be patient and do more thinking as which to do, if anything. If there are any July 4th sales on CF engine goodies, I am tempted to get the fuse box cover and maybe one other piece first.

There is something to be said about leaving it plan. After all, we all know it is a Stringray Vette.

Hey Bruce
I was where you are now in deciding what to do under the hood on my ride. Pete @ Showstoppers did a great job on mine and he has a lot of options to choose from. I did the install last week end. Everything went right on. If I can help let me know.
