Default Need Your Opinion!

Have a triple black 04 coupe. Want to redo my engine bay with painted
engine parts from Vette Shop. Can't decide which color to go with the black. Have torch red parts now but will be moving those to the wifes Vert. Do I go back with red or go with black? Thanks for your help! Heres what it looks like now!

I'm a fan of the not so common . . .

So, go with a custom blue, purple or maybe even a silver and charcoal two-tone.

Keep it just like that and let the Wife mod her own Vette. It's not really her car if you are putting "your" personal touches on it. Get what I me?? Your car looks fine just like that. Trust me on this.

I'm a big fan of red, so I think that your engine bay looks just fine the way it is. But, a metallic silver would look good in there too.

The red looks good, but maybe try something different. Here is what I just completed. Got all the painted stuff from Ken at Vetteshop. Great guy to deal with!!


By the way...love your engine. Looks a lot like mine.
