Default Black

Black, Black, Black, Black.

I don't like when things on the chassis are noticeable. Keep suspension components discrete, hidden and just let them do their job. Silver is a too "blingy" for my taste. Just my $.02

Later,

Brandon

I agree..... but think a special order option is not a bad idea.

Hard to stock stuff in the raw, it gets red, iron oxide color. Every supplier I have dealt with either coats the parts in powdercoat or a zinc or cad plating. I like the cad plating. Cept for the AME rear clip, it was in the raw, I liked getting to apply my own coating. Ive seen some poor coatings from some manufactures and it needed an entirely new coating

But for powder coating, I like black. I have a couple items from ART in black. Looks ok... Its not show quality powder coating, but should keep the rust off JR
