Default to sleeper or not to sleeper

I delivery drive a soon to be hmt del sol. I am seriously debating whether or not to make it look stock under the hood by hiding the charge pipes inside stock intake and using a heatshield to conceal the turbo. The intercooler would be painted black with nicely done grill mesh to break up the pattern. A del sol, imo, looks like it should go fast; so would it be redundant to sleep the under-hood of a bright red car? OH! btw, I am not trying to conceal the sounds, just the appearance.

seem like some extra work, why not be proud of the set up and show it off? any 1 with 1/2 a brain will still know your turbo. if u want it sleeper, leave the exterior and interior stock. my .02

Well I think there are a lot of people with only half a brain in my town. I was crusing the other night and some dude asked if I was "charged". I was like... you didn't hear my turbo the last 4 blocks or see that HMT sticker on the side of my car? He even said he had a big block in his honda when I asked what he had... lol.

Anyways yeah just make the outside and inside look like a sleeper... waste of time to do the engine bay. That's the cool part to check out.

I want a bov poking out of my oem intake If it's a DSM bov, does it still count as "oem looking?" lol

I would just not pop the hood if you don't want to give away what's going on under there. But thats my $.02
