I would do the engine compartment in the body color and the the engine and trans and front subframe in a satin finish of the same color!

Sounds like you have your mind made up. Should look good either way. Remember YOU have to like it.

Yea I think it would look good either way
but part of me still thinks that flat black would look better.
My dad thinks flat black would look the best.

I like mostly body-color with accents in satin black (all rubber and plastic parts) and silver (polished or cast aluminum)

Do the radiator-support gloss-black (so you don't see it throught the grille), and the inner-fenders can go either way on the top side (always black on the bottom side IMHO). I like the firewall body-color.
