Default Your opinion please

Hi, I value my fellow CF members so I need your opinion. I recently installed high polished SS on my fuel rail vovers. I'm not sure if I should put polished SS on the plenum, or the torch red cover (the color of my car), or chrome plated. I have a lot of polished SS under the hood including etched caps and I will be painting the tank covers torch red.
I value your opinions.
Thanks. Be safe.
Jeff

But in the end only you can decide, they would both probably look good.

Thanks again. I just ordered the torch red tank covers.
Can I paint the plenum torch red or should I just buy the cover for that too?
Thanks again for your opinions. You're what makes CF great
