White or CW white..

I don't like totally mismatched engine bays. The only time you should totally change the color is when your engine bay is black (black car).

since your wheels are gunmetal..I would do.

Black (which is a pain in the *** to maintain.) or some type of graphite silver..

Try to see if you had anything original in mind. Something nice that you think will be a little different from the crowd of eg's. If you want to be sure that you and everyone will like it then I guess a color close to Skyline gunmetal or Vogue Silver. I'd stay away from white, black, or bronze. Maybe try a cobalt kind of blue.

I think Lexus makes a real cool white color have no damn idea what its called.

Seems like it had a kinda porcelan depth type look to it.

Sir Kid 2, Please dont think Im ragging on you. you seem like a great kid but shouldnt your 1/4 mile times be a little faster with those kind of ponies your puttin down? Anyways check out the lexus color probably wont have to do door jams or bay that way.
