Need a Quick Opinion on colors

Okay... My original plan was to paint my valve covers and intake manifold all black glass.... But now that I look at it, I am not sure if its going to be TOO MUCH black in my engine bay...

So since I already painted the upper manifold to see, I am not sure... Should I continue with the all black scheme, or switch it to a clean silver? Or if you had something else that was subtle, but nice, let me know...

Here is a pic with unpainted stuff (best representation of silver) and here is also a pic with a black manifold...

I like the black. I went with a black ssqv and pipes and still want to paint my s/c black.

I say silver. Black seems a little too dark, and after all the work you put in you should show it off.

If you don't realize there's an 8 in a car that never came with it, polished or silver isn't gonna help. However, gloss black with everything else matte black is gonna make the enthusiasts do a double take.

I vote for going on with a black and silver scheme.
