Looking good!
Yes, seen it done. It can look good. Just remember "less is more" -- don't color match every little bracket... Besides, not much risk -- if you don't like it, it's just paint and easy to strip and re-do. Build it your way.

Go wild, I did!*
  *Please note, one doesn't realize how bad this looks when one is happily painting everything...it's only when one puts the engine back together that the cacophony of color becomes apparent...

Not yet, this weekend. My engine bay isn't color matched, it's silver. However, I have a foil style sound pad so it *seems* like it's even more red...

I'm pretty sure you would not want the rearmost section in fiberglass for a turbo - I think the heat would make a mess of that in no time (maybe not?) - anyone tried it?
