Engine bay accents

So I decided to do a little painting under my hood this weekend. Here is what I did, painted the Plug cover, and my Fuse Box cover, I also have my Fuel Rail cover painted and my Intake Hose (At least until I get my Injen intake).




What do you guys think.

looks nice. I like it, not too flashy, just the right amount of paint to spice it up a bit.

You should paint the interior to match. Your engine bay is nice.

I thought about that, I have noticed how my sidearm door console is chipping close to the window controls.

I was playing with the thought of color matching those, I just don't want to do to much and look like domestic rice.

I used, believe it or not, Krylon Fusion paint. When I first did the Fuel rail cover I figured, if it can't stand up to the heat then this would be the easiest piece to replace or redo. So far, so good. No cracking, peeling or anything. By the way has anyone noticed that the Spark Plug plate reads "SAAB" on the underside of it. I noticed that when I had it off the engine.
