Which way to go with painting engine and coil covers??

[Fordever]

Since my car is stored for a winter nap, its time to do a few things...…….
One thing I really want to do is paint my covers. I have decided to go black and white only, but not sure of which way to go.

I am 99% sure the coil covers will be white with black inserts as so....

But I am on the fence with the engine cover, but I am thinking to go white top and black sides with white inserts as so...

I am thinking the black sides would be a better contrast with the white coil covers.

Thought's?????

I like your idea, should go well with your CS accents. I went minimal for mine.

as someone who did a full white under hood dress up on my 08 I have to advise against it as it gets dirty very quickly

I hear ya on the dirt thing.....but I don't mind cleaning my car. My neighbor tell me I am gonna wash the paint off....I told him I already did..my car used to be black..

But thank you for the input, I do appreciate your input.....

I think it will go really well. And yes, with CS accents it should be better. Anyways, with a long winter, I will have time to do it correctly..

And yours looks great. Sometimes less is more.....

I could always get my plastic pieces “chromed”.

Yep that looks very nice as well. Decisions, decisions. Got along winter to figure it out. Maybe try it both ways, since I have an extra cover now.

I like that. Now you got me thinking about black coil covers with white accents. I realize yours are carbon fiber look, but the dark is more subtle against the engine.... Looks great..
