Not a big fan of the color red, but that's just me.

Replace all the lines with colored ones. That would really change the look.

Air box maybe?

Red plastic is hard to pull off even for the ricey crowd and at the dragstrip you might as well leave your hood closed.

with the red timing belt cover, i would go with black and red TRD enhancements so it will pull the whole theme together

If your going to be upgrading to the supercharger I would try and incorporate those colors into your engine bay. The different gen superchargers are different colors if I remember correctly.

Your truck is black, the engine bay isn't colorful at all and it's not supposed to be. In my opinion it doesn't look good, it's something that a boy racer would do to his Honda Civic but that's my 0.02Cents.

On the other hand, it wouldn't look bad if you painted the calipers (unless you've done it already.) A gold, Silver or even Red would look good.

I agree it looks stupid and like someone would do to a civic, but i thought i might give it a shot :bigok: I think I might paint it again though, I was thinking something like metallic siver. Something with less color and not so So Gay

[beallen21]

[Clemsonfan15]

Good idea Victor. Definitely paint the brakes.
