ORIGINAL: ej6buddy

try painting the valve cover white with black lettering, that would look sharp, i've never seen that b4
I've seen Mazdas with that before... it looks amazing,.. I can't imagine how hard it would be to keep clean, though... I have trouble keeping my dark blue valve cover clean

that has to be powdercoated, thats too smooth to be hand painted.

I like white and black, nice mix, but agree its probably hard to keep clean.

I need to clean my engine bay bad!

i thnk you need a combination of white or black in with a normal color to make it not look tacky. Other than that i think it looks pretty ricey.....

on a side note i think dark colors (like burgundy or forest green like mentioned earlier) look better than like neon green or blue

blue and green = not soo bad.

just depends on the actual shades of blue n green. some combo's work. some dont. its all about what the owner of the car thinks. its not about what everyone else thinks.. at least it shouldnt be.

^ it's just a poll, and only your opinions, so not any of that "depends on what the owner thinks"

and for the record, what blue and green "shades go together"

and i'm assuming you're the second to vote no?

wow, it must be hard for you to watch sports with all them clashing colors[sm=insomnia.gif]. They should just all wear black on black and be original.

yes, that's what i'm doing, i'm scaring people into voting tacky, especially when the vote reveals what everyone already thinks of the combo on a car, and yes, this poll is for cars, and cars only. i'm not saying the color combination is tacky in any case, such as clothing, but it is on a car. (IMO, yes, it's my opinion, exactly what this poll is about) and i asked an honest question, what blue and green shades go nicely on a car. maybe a tiel/forest green combo?
