red-white theme continued...
I'm trying to get a red-white theme going on my Vette (red with white lettering), which goes well with the red tail lights and side markers. I did the Corbeaus and the brake calipers a while ago, and had time to do the fuel rail covers this week. Got some high temp paint and tried my luck
Turned out quite nice. Here's some pics I took yesterday with all 3 parts showing. Enjoy
If you have any ideas of what else I could do with that theme, let me know...

Some painted engine components would be good and installing a colored C5 logo on the air bridge (I did one in vinyl on mine) would carry on the theme.

Sometimes less is more.
When painting the 2 tanks, should they be sprayed or brushed in place?

Very clean. I use to bling crazy, now I'm into the subtle clean look.
A polished alternator and alternator bracket along with a polished TB would really set off your engine.
Very Nice.

Very I like the subtle (i.e. don't change/paint every piece under the hood) and I like the way you tied in the red/white with the interior.
Only other thing I would do is all caps and dip stick color matched. Rest looks good to go!
What size wheels/tires are you running. They look good!
