I agree with Travis on using the brake calipers to tie in the engine. I wouldn't want to completely disassemble the engine either. If he's doing a custom interior as well, add some red accents like piping on the seats or something. You can also get red backlit gauges if you really want to get into it.
Or if the red stripe is truely a "necessary evil", double up the pinstripes by adding a black one next to it to knock the intensity down. Is the top color black or graphite metallic?
I'm just sorta brainstorming out loud....the car's gonna look awesome either way. Nice job, as usual, Kris!
