Engine Dress

Ok guys, for any who are artistic...

Im installing my greddy turbo shortly but before I do im getting the pipes powder coated. Ive got a victory (or is it race?) blue rx8 with white rims.

The basic theme Im looking for is blue obviously the main color, with white as secondary and yellow as the alternate. for example my blue car with white rims and yellow brakes.

So what to do under the hood!

i was thinking powder coat the stuff blue with white couplers and vacuum tubes, but white silicon seems hard to come by. So should i powder coat white and blue silicone? just leave the pipes polished with blue hoses? paint the manifold? so many options...

without a valve cover our engires are seriously lacking areas to spruce up.

any ideas welcome.

If your thinking that the CAI is going to cool whatever you have in there I doubt it will...
