Got my bracket in for the Vortech and I cannot decide what to do with it and the plaque.

Here is the current color scheme for the engine stuff. Silver Vein, Super Matte Black, and I cannot recall the silver/gray.

The car is gonna be painted Antimatter Blue Metallic.

I got the Vortech V1 Ti in black.

What should I do with the bracket? If anything?

Also, what should I do with the plaque?

Part of me wants to do “Mach 1” or “Bad Mach”.

I just don’t know.

Thoughts/thots?

I’d do the bracket silver vein for contrast. You can do hydrodipping as well James.

The plaque on the radiator cover maybe.

I agree with the silver vein, plaque on the strut brace.

You can do automotive body paint and clear on a lot of components too, like the calipers to give you more color options. I wouldn't recommend it on parts that get super hot but the stuff now is incredibly durable and resistant. If you're doing blue and black though, what about adding some bronze or gold? Lately I've been loving adding bronze or gold as an accent as it works with just about any color.

So the plaque mounts on the bracket.

As far as different colors, I have a plan once the car gets repainted.

I really think I am going to have the wheels redone in a Bronze color.

Hopefully it does not clash with the Silvervein.

Do the brackets, i personally would do them in a dark color in whatever finish you like, to me it camouflages if the engine is dirty and seems to look cleaner.
