Default Need Opinions!!

I know this is a C5 site, until 5 wks ago I had a C5 and traded for a C6. But I value your opinions.
I just painted my C6 engine covers and extra parts and would like to get an opinion on what color lettering to use to match the paint job.

I am trying to choose between Raised: White (That would match the rest of the white lettering in the bay), Stainless, or Red. Please check the link on C6 site for Pictures.

Thanks,

I think white lettering would look the best. That's a killer engine bay BTW.

Tough call.....I think my first pick would be white then red. Any other color really doesn't jive with the blue exterior paint.

Howdy neighbor! Great job on the paint work. I really like the subtle flame work. I would keep with the subtle theme and go with the same light blue used in the flames.
