Re: opinions wanted

I like silver, may have to much blue with the hood on, the silver compliments the intake.

Re: opinions wanted

I dunno, I say blue. No need to draw attention to your hinges.

Re: opinions wanted

The silver creates too much contrast. I'd go with the blue!

Re: opinions wanted

I would paint them blue or go with billet hinges...I painted mine the same color of the hood which is black and it looks perfect when it matches the color of the hood. just my opinion.

Re: opinions wanted

I like having contrasting colors under the hood and the interior. Stay with the silver

My mom always had the best advice. It was just a tad late. After a fall that involved blood, she'd say....."Careful!"
