I'd leave it the factory color, or go with gray. White would be a pain to keep clean.

save your self from this gay trend and paint your engine bay the same color as the rest of your car

you sound like a follower anyway, so when trends change again next year, you'll be that tool that has a mismatched engine bay, and you'll have to do it all over again

DAP or if you must have a contrasting bay, go gray.

White would just look like you had a white car and were lazy when you had it re-sprayed.

If you weren't a follower and did to your car what is visually pleasing to you, this thread would never have been created.....

Paint it DAP and you won't have to re-spray it in a few years when you realize different colored bays aren't cool anymore. Bays that match the exterior of the car will never go out of style.
