I'm going to have the motor look like a million dollar engine. cast aluminum valve cover, black with polished fins. Daytona yellow for the engine, with clear coat. aluminum hi temp for the exhaust manifold/ up pipe. and all of the turbo piping will ither be daytona yellow, or black. will have black turbo couplers.

I'm going to spray the engine bay b4 I drop the motor in. flat black.
IMO a flat black engine bay is really boring, hides too much stuff, and makes it hard to see.... Why not go the same color as the exterior of the car? Black is just so.....black...and plain looking... Give it some style!!!!!
