matte black or glossy.

I want it to stick out like a sore thumb. its a good contrast.

its only the uim, pulleys, ic pipes, and turbo getting the lime/yellow treatment.

brackets, strut bar, alternator and everything else black.

Engrave your parts with a custom design, that would be cool and exciting, you could always anodize your turbo and piping also.

Spend some time sanding your parts.

I removed all the casting lines from my UIM, seperated the runners and glass bead blasted it.

it looks super clean, and best (It looks factory)
