Opinions On My Engine Bay. Spoon or Gold!? *pics

NYC Flip 22 · 02-08-2006, 01:21 AM

Hey, I need advice on what to do to my engine bay.
there's too many colors. I'm getting rid of the orange when i get my jdm dipstick. then the spoon oil cap. i'm eventually getting the yellow spoon valve cover...
i want to get rid of the gold and make it yellow or blue or something. what do i do??!!!

I also wanted to keep the gold though since i have the gold theme in my car! i have the spray paint to make it the gold to match my rims..
the 5th pic will be the gold that it will look like if i repaint my fuse box cover and Intake Manifold Cover the new gold

So either Spoon, Gold, or other?
thanks..

This is my engine bay now. The Spoon+Gold theme

This is my gold engine bay before.

the new gold will be this color..i think it might match the yellow better...what do you think?

blue looks badass man

SaCH · 02-08-2006, 01:22 AM

gold, looks cool.

NYC Flip 22 · 02-08-2006, 01:24 AM

If i decide to ditch the gold, what color should i paint the Intake Manifold cover? Blue or Yellow? or should I just paint it the better matching gold?

S1_Ikon · 02-08-2006, 01:50 AM

blue or yellow will look good. ...

chartchaiganan · 02-08-2006, 03:46 AM

honestly i like the gold now. but to contrast more with the yellow valve cover, i think blue will be good. thats just my opinion. im sure yellow would look fine as well.

GFunk · 02-08-2006, 07:08 AM

i like it the way it is right now

does Spoon front strut bar fits over 05+ OEM strut?

sinitry23 · 02-08-2006, 10:53 AM

Paint your dip stick to black!

sccr762 · 02-08-2006, 11:09 AM

lol @ JDM dipstick

rly44 · 02-08-2006, 11:13 AM

Maybe paint your valve cover blue and the keeping the other covers gold or yellow.. How about paint that dipstick to gold or yellow to match the covers as well.. just an idea.. try photoshopping it to see what it would look like.

PaPaBear · 02-08-2006, 11:13 AM

Why buy the dipstick instead of paintin that one? Just JDM bling?

yeahi · 02-08-2006, 12:39 PM

the dip stick is only like 8 bucks....

I'd just ditch the intake manifold cover and get a regular stock one. Run the spoon reservoir covers and the spoon valve and spark plug covers.

NYC Flip 22 · 02-08-2006, 12:42 PM

Kk. so I think i'm prob. goin to paint my intake manifold cover the spoon blue. then paint my fuse box cover yellow. if there's any other colors, i'm goin to get rid of it.

Yea, im goin to order the black JDM dipstick since its cheap anyway.

i guess no more gold in my engine bay

yeahi · 02-08-2006, 12:43 PM

why are u going to paint your fuse box yellow? To match the valve cover? And the im cover to match the reservoir cover? You're bay is going to be toooo busy.

Freshnice1 · 02-08-2006, 01:01 PM

well i dont wanna spend money for an IM cover since i might not be able to use it after a "certain" mod (idk when tho)

NYC Flip 22 · 02-08-2006, 01:04 PM

So some are saying, just paint the IM cover the newer gold to see if it goes better with the yellow spoon valve cover i'm goin to get?
