OK so this is sort of my engine bay. I now have a polished Corksport fmic piping and am replacing the oem intake manifold with the Corksport. My Speed is silver, and wrinkle black has been everything.
I will be coating the intake manifold. But maybe a contrasting color. Thoughts?

Can you do wrinkle coat silver? They do that to some areas on turbo pipes for some cars and it looks good.
 
Yeee, some sorta bright glittery silver maybe. I'm trying to remember how silver vs grey my old CS mani looked; it was definitely brighter than oem but also was new and clean at the time.

I'm not sure. I'm curious though. I had oem and honestly I hated it. I kind of want to make it stand out. An orange color is an idea for me as a tribute to my friend @Rokusek's Speed.
 
Found a picture of what it may look like depending on the shade of silver

That could also be rad. My thought was either bright silver to tie into the polished ic pipe and exterior, or some sort of altogether new bright color (but something more unique than just blue or red) to make it pop against the black of the intake and the AP engine covers.

I plan to decal the piping. Maybe a coat job on them too? Don't like it polished.
 
Oh hmm, that adds another factor to consider. Maybe bright on the mani and black again on the piping? Or bright on both, match them to each other and keep with black on the rest of the bay? I personally don't like when things get TOO busy with color patterns but that's just my own preference.

Orange (or maybe some kinda burnt copper?) would def be cool as a tribute, that's for sure.

I would go black on the mani and a burnt orange or gold kind of color on the pipe. That would be enough color with a good amount of black to contrast
