I was thinking about getting mine done in orange and getting my intake manifold done in baby blue. Some contrast never hurts hehe.

Other combos I've thought of:

Red/Blue
Purple/green
Pink/brown
Yellow/Red
Superman colors (Blue valve cover, Red intake manifold with yellow runners) <----no biters!
Superman colors v2.0 (red valve cover, blue manifold with superman "S" in crimson and gold across the runners")
green/black
and the list goes on...

Well if you got the Weapon-R intake manifold you could see a good bit more of the valvecover, and ofcourse if you wanted you could always coat the IM if you did have the weapon-r
