Default To paint or not to paint the bay

Silver EJ8. When the project goes further on should I stick with silver all nice and cleaned up? Or paint the engine bay a different color? I couldnt find much on silver cars with different colored bays to see what looks good. What do you think? Valve cover is red and I rather not take perfect OEM paint off the Type R valve cover to change it up

I actually have the same car... And was wondering the samething...

Im pretty much gonna end up just cleaning up the engine bay and just getting it resprayed stock silver... I cant think of any color that would look good against the silver... And there aint too many people that have examples...

Good luck with your build tho...

If it were me, I would probably keep it silver. White bays are my favorite, but matching the car is nice and white and silver would clash.
