Strut brace color

[e30evolution]

I will be getting a strut brace and am thinking about what color to paint it.. these are my options:

leave it the color it comes (red, polished.....)
paint it body color (sterling siber)
paint it black (flat, semi, gloss with clear)

let me know what color your strut braces are, and pics if you have any

mine is red, I had to remake the mounts which is why they are black:


it looks good on sterlingsilver, and eventually I need to replace my spark plug wires with some red ones to match.

It's a 325ix. Those are normal for that model.

ok.... my vavle cover is black with polished fins.... intake manifold looks like shit... i need to take it off and bead blast it....
i have the bav auto 8mm red wires.... i really dont know what to do..... i think i will get one and install it whatever color it comes and when i get tired of it i will paint it body color..... if i dont like that then black is easy enough to do

Red with red wires and a black valve cover look nice. A bead blasted smooth intake will need to be cleared to prevent oxidation.

i was also thinking of grinding the roundel off the top on the intake manifold and adhearing a hood/trunk emblem in its place
