Underhood accents on black car

I've been trying to decide on what to do with my car. As stated my car is black. My last car was completely blacked out and I don't want to do that on this one. I was going to go with red brake calipers, but I was pondering the underhood accents. I was thinking of painting the fuel rail cover and spark plug cover red to match the "theme." Also, if I did that what do you think about making the fuse box cover red, or should I leave it all black? I'm just up late and pondering random things.I tried seaching and couldn't find any pics. Thanks for any input.

edit: Forgot about all the hoses. Red or leave black?

Paint anything you want, just do it tastefully.

And dont forget about polishing the valve cover.

i also have a black car and am planning on doing the same thing, ive already painted my bowties red and I have everything to paint the calipers red im just lazy and havent done it yet. if you take any pics of what you do please let me know I would like to see what it looks like. Also a project im working on this weekend which I saw done on a silver balt and it looks awesome, is painting the door inserts(not sure if thats what they are actually called). The part that is around the window control/door locks. It looks really nice and it give the car that little bit of a difference from every other car out there. I am also planning on putting red neons under the car and also inside the hood.

Yellow looks hot against black also..Black is a good color, you have many options that you could go with and as long as it's not tacky(going crazy and painting everything) then it will look good. Silver, Red, Yellow, Blue..

If you add paint, keep it clean and simple... some polished or anodized billet parts would be ncie with back or some carbon fiber stuff also
