Default DC2 98+ front end coversion done, all I'm missing is paint

Alright I just strapped on my 98+ front end today and was wondering what color I should paint it. The choices are either another coat of Milano Red or a darker shade of red such as Cayenne Red Metallic. I really want to stay with some shade of red just because I don't want to repaint the engine bay, if its some shade of red and I leave the engine bay as is and it wouldn't be too far of a stretch. If anyone else can make a suggestion with a picture I'd much appreciate it. Also note I am repainting the whole car.

A darker red would be sick

How hard was the front end conversion? What parts did you use? Looks great BTW....Cant wait to see it finished

It wasn't that bad mostly because the panel underneath was already hanging off(the guy who owned the car before tore it up installing a WW RS lip on the original bumper). You'll be able to see the finished product at the Ridley Park meet

you should paint your car Formula One Red and get the side moldings and spoiler shaved.
