Need some Ideas for engine covers.

Hello All,
I'm looking for advice on what color I should chose for my engine covers. I've been in the stainless steel products, but would like to go away from those as they are so hard to shine up for car shows. My car is a 2002 Quicksilver Metallic and I have a patriotic hood liner. Any ideas or pics ? Any advice would be great and thanks.

Torch red covers would look good with the silver exterior.

I think QSLVR with Black lettering would also be nice...

Yes Torch red would look great with silver, I have Pewter and I am getting the Torch red
covers and Torch red Lloyd mats ! I never liked the chrome covers on a C5 !

I would match the American flag on the hood liner.

I would have who ever painted the flag in your liner do the same flag on the covers.

With such a nice hood liner, it would make sense to go with that as a "theme/scheme"....for example, ghosting an American Flag design onto the covers.

Since your hood liner is celebrating VJ Day in Times Square, how about something on your fuel rail covers to continue that theme? I think I'd do something subtle so that it doesn't distract from your hood liner.
