Seriously, I am amazed at the number of responses on this thread, we Mopar guys are different, aren't we? We truly are a different breed. Anyway, I agree with body color under the hood. I think, especially with the lighter and/or brighter colors, it highlights the details on the engine itself better. Makes everything stand out. If that (and originality) is not important to you, then do your own thing. I never had a black engine bay except on brand X cars, oops, my Durango has a black engine bay. :-)
