I need to buy some new couplers as an upgrade is going to happen to the FSwerks intercooler piping.

This is the engine and the engine bay will be Black with Metal Flake

I guess old age has caught up to me. I favour a monochromatic, subdued colour scheme. SVT-WGN is dark shadow grey with medium blue for highlights (rotors, sway bar, interior seats). When I pop the hood, I have to explain all of the modifications because the average person is not aware of subtle modifications. So, for you I voted purple. Once you pop the hood at a Show & Shine, that lime green block and purple intercooler tubing will have everyone asking (or saying) "What the hеll?" Definitely not stock.

Had to bump up this poll so others can participate. Noticed most were going for the matched green look - except the two greens are different. The blue just does not work with lime green; the black is probably the most tasteful. Purple was just such a contrast (complementary colors) I had to vote for it. Back in the early seventies I had a lime green bicycle. I wore purple shorts when I went riding. Those were my neon days. I will not repeat what my students said.

I wanted to vote green, but then got talked into black.

I'm a big fan of the quiet, sleeper look.

Also blue and green really conflict so save for a paint job lol
