engine bay/exterior opposite colors

[deviousgst]

Mods, im not sure if i shouldve posted this topic in this thread, so if its not suppose to be here, feel free to move it...im going to start my 95Gsx project soon, completely stock 92k miles..
Already got fp30r,hks272's,pte880's,dsmlink, and all other bolt ons..
Project: full wire tuck, battery in trunk, fuse box relocation,paint my engine bay and do a paint job on the car. Its red and i want something different since my gst is also red. Suspension, swapping my grey leather virgin interior for black leather. I got an all black dash from a donor car, and for the seats and all plastic trim, im going go paint myself..NOW, my only problem that I wanna figure out before I start my project is the paint job. I want to paint my engine bay different color then the exterior. Like our fellow member here, GAME_OVER.. I like how he did his. It makes the engine /components stand out.

The exterior colors on my mind so far are, black, white, and charcoal grey..I also been thinking bout keeping it red, but like I said I want to paint engine bay a different color..

So if any of you guys have a wire tuck with engine bay different color than the exterior, can you please post a picture up so I can get some ideas? Thanks, much appreciative.

Update:Instead if the fp30r I got a hx40 hybrid with punishment o2 housing and tial Wg..and I think I somewhat made up my mind on the color sheme. Let me know what y'all think. Negative or positive comments are welcomed..

Exterior:from red to black

Interior:from grey leather to black everything including dash

Cage/roll bar: same as engine bay

Engine bay:wire tuck,batt relocation, fuse box relocation...Teal(lil darker and brighter than this)

I'm probably doing my black Talons bay that battleship grey or white. I feel less cluttered working in a lighter color bay. Weird, I know. I have gotten a lot of negativity from the people I have mentioned this to.
But do whatever you want. It is your car.

anyone else have any input or say on these colors?

Battleship grey looks pretty nice, black ext

I've also been thinking about doing this sometime in the future but I don't know how it would look with a red exterior. If anyone has a red dsm with a different bay, I'd love to see it!

I thought very hard about doing this to my car when it was in paint after shaving. I decided that its kind of a trend (not in DSM's but the car scene) and will probably soon fade and I think I would get sick of it after awhile.

the grey and black does look nice

I think if I do end up painting my car in the spring then I'll just pull the engine and paint the bay black. I think that might look good. Black engine bay with a red exterior...

That would look nice too
