SC,I've seen yours before in another post I beleive,they looked pretty sweet,has anyone done theirs in colors other than black?I'm debating on whether to paint mine orange to match the flame strip I'm going to use or stay with black.

black would be more "driver" friendly-a little road grime would stand out on orange.

i used rust converter on mine which turned them black, then i just sprayed on some cheap wal-mart black spray paint....its not technically car show material even though mine goes there sometimes, but its more for daily driver use. and a little bit of wal=mart undercoat doesnt hurt either, i bought out the 2 local walmarts twice using like 20 cans of that stuff underneith my truck, it looks clean and better than my dad's 93 chevy.
