Default Polished or Black Golden Eagle Fuel Rail?

To make a long story short I ordered a silver BDL fuel rail for my '07 Si and I received it and it was damaged.

I will not be able to get a replacement BDL anytime soon so I have decided to get a Golden Eagle Pro-series rail locally. My question for you guys is, should I get the polished or black golden eagle?

Here is how my bay currently sits, however I will be adding a few other pieces this week. I will be replacing the OEM silver Valve cover with a valve cover that is color matched to the color of my car (Galaxy Gray), adding the piece under the ARC letters (which will also be Galaxy Gray), and installing a black hood damper.



Polished RBC Manifold
Spoon Oil Cap
Stainless ARC spark plug cover (w/ galaxy gray background)
JDM Black Dip Stick
T1R Radiator Cap
Polished P2R TBS

Which color Fuel Rail

Polished?




Or

Black?



Some people say black will compliment the polished nicely, and others say the polished will match everything else, or maybe be too much polished stuff going on...

thanks for the feedback guys. Anymore opinions?

Remember the valve cover will be galaxy gray, the color of my car.

judging by the color your plan on painting the valve cover, id go with black.
bling isnt ALWAYS good, especially when your scheme is primarily organic/darker colors.

Good point. The more I think about it I think I am leaning towards the black to try and balance things out, as opposed to going the all polished route.

Thanks bro!

I got a lot of other stuff going onto this week before Honda Day. I installed my exhaust today!

Its funny, most people here on HT say go polished and on other forums people are saying black. I ended up going with black. I figured I would break thinks up a little, and instead of having everything in either a machined or polished finish, do the the black.
