You should definitely try to match the fuel rail covers. If they're red then go with red.

They are already "Black", so I'd paint them red to match your FRCs.

I'd go with red to match your present FRC's. If you were starting over again, I'd go with the carbon fiber like mine to go with the black color of your car.
