Default What engine color?

Hey, what color would look good to paint my engine and ect(Intake,strut tower brace,CAI,valve covers)???? I want to paint it all about the same color. My cars color is deep forest green and I will have black headlights and black cobra R rims. I was thinking about painting everything black and getting a black Trick Flow intake. How do you think that would look? Any other suggestions are welcome.

Black disipates heat the best. That may or may not be a concern....

I dont think that would make much a diff. I think I will go with all gloss black and a bit of chrome, it should look sweet. Anyone ever done this before?
