I was wondering what colors I should powder coat my valve cover, intercooler pipes and intake pipe.
I really don't have a clue what color I should pick. So I'm open to anything. I have thought about maybe like a a dark metallic red valve cover with champagne colored intercooler pipes. Or maybe all one color for everything...? Not too sure, I need suggestions.

I think it looks good enough as-is, and from looking at your car, I'm sure whatever color you go with will look good. I like all black stuff, but my engine bay always seems dirty and dusty because of this, not sure if that is a concern for you.
 
i wouldnt keep most things one colour, but as said before it looks good as is..
red would look hot but im not too sure in doing everything red. i would just do the valve cover red or silver. just something that goes with the paint on your car
 
I think I'm with jwt-1gnt on this one. That gold cover looks pretty slick already. I can't really picture the red one in my head. It will look though regardless becasue you have a couple of other reds that will compliment it. If I were you, I'd leave it as is and spend the money elsewhere.
 
I have been thinking about powder coating the intercooler pipes gold to match the valve cover.
I'm also looking into getting some gold StopTech big brakes.
 
Your engine bay already looks so nice, it would be hard to improve it. I like either polished or black intercooler piping. As far as the valve cover, it looks good the way it is, but the dark metallic red that you mentioned would look really good I think.
BTW, where did you get your upper radiator hose?

If you read his vehicle profile it says Samco Sport radiator hoses
