White exterior, black engine bay?

Hey guys, does anyone have any pics of a white camaro / firebird with a black engine bay? I'm trying to decide if that'd look good or not, its difficult to imagine.

Don't have a pic, but besides the color of the car, black is the 2nd and only option. I think it would look fine.

i think black engine bays are the only thing to do nomatter what color the car is...

the motor stands out better from black. any chrome or polished accessories and powder coated items show really nicely

It will boil down to only personal preference. I think it looks bad myself.
