Default engine bay...what colors??

Hey guys I'm wondering what color I should paint my engine bay parts. I was planning on painting the valve cover the same color as the car and paint the plug wire cover and cold air intake silver or white. The engine is silver too so I don't know?

Car is Orange so I need to know what goes good with an orange engine bay and a silver engine!! Should I paint the valve cover orange the same as the car? I need opinions on these parts:
1. Valve cover
2. Plug wire cover
3. AEM cold air intake
4. Battery tray and all little parts that bolt things to the fire wall.

Any help will be great!!

What colors do you think will look good together? Maybe post some pictures of other engine bays? The parts arn't painted yet but will be before the weekend.

Thanks in advance!!

Later

just paint it the same color as your car or black.

Why are you guys flaming this guy? Do you guys think you're cooler/better because you're on a JDM rice bandwagon?

Put your car back to its OEM roots and dont paint anything. You follow me so far?
Ok now... sell all your ricer parts and invest into turbo'ing that B18.

I'll buy your head lights and tail lights.... I need something to practice my anger management classes on.

For your valve cover and spark plug cover, search through here for some creative ideas....

For the intake pipe and misc. items, i say either gloss black or match it with the exterior

93B18Coupe, Just ignore those jdm ricers. they know nothing but crap they see on this forum.

it's obvious that LeftLaneDC2 is a jdm ricer. Look at his car and the mugen wheels he's selling. If he wasn't a ricer, he would've bought wheels for performance insetad of wheels with the same specs at OEM GSR blades. Integra with JDM Integra front end and mugen wheels. how original. more like a sheep.

Ignore "Howlin' Mad" Murdock or as known as CRXwolf. His car is just a jdm show boat. comon now, why would the passanger seat need takata harnesses? bling bing LCA LOL

teggysue is lucky I couldn't find anything on him.

Who else is next?? I can go on all day with these sheeps.
