Too ricey??

fyi, you can't powder-coat plastic

technically no, but iirc you can coat plastic things in something, and then powder coat:shrug:

also I painted by IMRC cover an almost identical red to the one surrounding the 'special vehicle teams' badge on the UIM, looked pretty decent, but i didnt keep it for long.

i think it's a little too

the way it's painted kind of looks cheap or maybe it's just the color imo maybe try a calmer color like gunmetal or do a carbon fiber look:shrug:

The red sticks out a bit, but with a nice red strut bar, I think it'd pull it all together.

exactly what I was going to say.
Don't do wire loom. THAT's ricey. Some people allow themselves to get way out of hand with the wire coloring.

agreed! a strut bar would look good too

You have a vary large concentration of red, you need to work it in across the engine bay to make it look right!

Here is my Engine bay in green, might give you a few ideas:

Sorry about the pics they aren't the best cause my camera has pretty much been used to death (~3,000 pictures/videos taken since 2005).

I am thinking about changing it to a charcoal color, like mentioned above. I was more or less curious how this would look and it turns out a bit much. I wish I could afford the CF cover as it is my ultimate choice.
