Well...i got the VTech smooth covers from Stylin...

Im about to take them to my painter...my idea is to have the main cover match my blue...and the others silver like the wheels and ducts...maybe a lil more flake tho....and also my K&N tube smoothed and painted along w/ the shroud cover smoothed and painted...............any ideas or other paint schemes i should consider?.....what about the tube and shroud?...what colors?...i dont want to much of 1 color...but i wanna coordinate as well....jus like to have some other points of view..thanks

I like the idea of paint matching the body color...but I gotta tell ya, you may think it's "blah" under your hood, but it sure is clean!

I think just the blue would look good. You could also paint the fender braces and maybe the electrical lid and box.
