v6-ers what you think of this?

What do you guys think of this? OK I have a red 86 SC with the 2.8 MPFI. What would you think of painting the plastic piece that goes over the air filters red, and then painting the air plenum on top of the motor red, leaving the disc in the middle silver, and somehow painting the "2.8 MPFI" in the middle of the disc red.

Comments?
