What Color Active Tuning?

Just wondering what color cables to get for my Red Brawn Titan. I have been debating this for some time now and still cant decide what color would look best under the hood. I am leaning toward blue or silver as a nice color combo with the truck's color. Any opinions or better yet pics would be appreciated.

Both nice color, I'm leaning blue just a tad bit more since it will show up a little better IMO.

Re: What Color Active Tuning?

Thanks for the input all. I was thinking blue would look the best. Still thinking silver may look nice, especially with a polished AEM I am hoping to have under the hood by summer's end. But the blue would definitely contrast well with the red brawn and black of the engine bay. Looks like I will be putting in my order soon

Re: What Color Active Tuning?

I got the blue for my white truck and it looks great. For Red Brawn, I bet the silver would look very sharp, and stand out against the darker red.

Re: What Color Active Tuning?

Silver would look really nice and go with the colour of your truck better, but it would also be harder to keep it clean lookin imo.

Re: What Color Active Tuning?

To me, Black = ground. When I see a red cable going to a - battery cable, it is like fingernails scraping a chalk board. I guess I could tolerate blue, also.

Re: What Color Active Tuning?

It helped with cold starting and the Transmission does shift a bit firmer.

No gas mileage increase or anything incredible.

I went with black, so it wouldn't stand out and you would know that it was a ground.

This is the main reason I would like to try it. Some cold starts are a little rough and if a $50 grounding package can resolve it I'm all for it.

I see your point, didnt think of that.

I think blue is the leading candidate, I just dont want it to look "ricey", but I think blue is safe from that.
