But I think the blue will look better with the Gray color. Oh and I will be the one to say NO CHROME..
I have alot of chrome underhood and it looks great, but i guess its just preference. I get alot of compliments. But yours looks good as well

Chrome is okay so long as you don't go crazy.Nothing wrong with a couple pieces of chrome.I do prefer brushed aluminum/billet over chrome but i do have a couple chrome pieces.

xx10Gt you have a very nice looking clean motor bay,I like the nice contrasts and color coordination.

Nice, I personally prefer the blue. Although I probably wouldn't paint the entire strut tower brace black. I think just the GT section might look nice.

Thanks again everyone for the help and the pics of what you have done. It has really helped me. I find it so much easier to choose colours when I can see them already done up.
