which engine bay set up looks better?

ive seen many engine bays, and they are either a variety of colors, or just straight one color
for example, the intake, spark plug wires, strut bar, and valve cover would all be blue, or they would all be different colors

which one do you think looks best?
im wondering because i cant decide on what looks better on my car

I prefer all one color

i also prefer all one color, preferably matching the car

I'd have to agree on one color matching the car.... unless your car is multiple colors... it would just look odd to me to open a hood and see a rainbow.... chrome is the exception, I think you can add chrome under the hood with any color.... It's the whole brown shoes with a black belt thing that women always talk about....

but dont you think it looks weird if the valve cover, spark plug wires, intake, and the strut bar are all blue?
show me some pictures to convince me

I think it looks weird if you have different colors under the hood.  Pretty much stick with one color, it looks cleaner and organized, not like you just threw a bunch of whatever in there.  If you want pictures, look at pretty much any show car.  Thats the way the majority of them do it.

Look under the hood of an old ford mustang that has been properly restored and you'll see how/why all blue and/or all blue/chrome looks good....  Blue is a great color...

so im thinking about some stainless steel headers, polished silver strut bar, blue spark plug wires, blue valve cover, and what color intake?
blue or polished silver?

I'd go with blue on the intake, unless you can get chrome.... polished silver will look a bit odd with all the chrome/blue... just my opinion...

I've got a combo of chrome and red under the hood of mine.

I found your blue motor.... just came accross it while searching for some info.... honda made one with stock blue valve covers...

scroll down a ways and you can see pics

does a blue valve cover look good with blue spark plug wires?
isnt it TOO blue?

nah that's not to blue.... if you were concerned about it though or wanted the wires to stand out a bit then black would be just fine....

black is too plain, everyone uses black, lol

I would say just use one color.  But like others have said chrome goes w/ anything.  Check out my engine, Ive got red/maroon and chrome headers and it looks pretty good imho  For my sub wiring I covered it w/ black (ah shoot i forget the name of the plastic stuff you put wires in).  They have it at wal mart for pretty cheap, and if you dont like the color, just excahnge it!

how about polished metal,. instead of chrome, cause intakes dont come in chrome

yeah I'm a moron... *L* polished metal is going to looke like chrome anyway.... unless you get something that is painted silver... Also, if you wanted the valve cover to stand out a little more then get a blue or a chrome/silver oil filler cap...

go with neon pink and electric green highlights.....
