Going Nuts! I can't decide!

back story: I figured out I can get powder coating done at work for an "at cost" or very very low price. So seeing as I wont be working here forever (only until early january), now would be the best time to get my Intake Manifold and Valve Cover powder coated


but now the problem of the century has arisen!!!!!!

I seriously dont know which color to choose...........



Help me decide on a color!

exterior theme just for reference


black








gold/bronze








vic red








silver (or maybe getting into a gunmetal shade possibly but doubtful)








polished w/ clear powdercoat (hard to make something look polished, but if you look from a distance you get a really nice idea)

I say black or Red

Thats a odd looking gold.. If it was the color gold we are all thinking hit it with your rims too as well as your valve cover and intake mani!

I'm going to have to agree with what the masses are telling me, but with one exception.. I'm going to give polishing a shot and see how it turns out. Im not sure how well the IM will even polish up so that may be getting done wrinkle black.. If not I pretty much got my mind set on a wrinkle black (or maybe gloss red) IM with Gloss Red Valve cover.. not sure if thats going to look too red, but for now i'm not worrying about it and just focusing on polishing my ass off

I dont have any gold on my car, and dont really ever plan on it as it would be too much color going on for my taste (that and gold looks utterly terrible when dirty)... so I'd have to respectfully disagree on the gold votes after some thinking


for as much as most people hate the flash.. I'm falling in love with these pictures I found on a red g5 gt..


eventually polishing, or maybe chroming my ss/tc rims to look something similar to this as an idea

then I got a vision of under the hood looking kinda sorta like this (only without the gaudy red wire loom, red silicone couplers, n such).
