I would start out with repainting it the same color as the car... I can't stand when things are "color matched" but they are not even close to the same shade of said color...

something else that wouldn't cost a whole lot other than time would be to polish your intake manifold and compressor cover... even without coloring anything else red, that would make it stand out greatly...

Like mitsuguy suggested, polished valve covers, compressor, and intake manifold will really make your engine stand out. I wouldn't paint too much else red cause it'll start to give it that "ricer" look. BTW: love the way you have your FPR attached
