Control Arm Colors...Which colors would you buy?? If you were buying a set of LCA's or even a panhard bar what color would you get? Or if you already got a set LCA's what color did you buy?
Most of you trying to match the colors to your car color, or just going with black? Just curious

Black on all my suspension parts (LCAs, Relocs, PHB, Tubular SFCs)
A) Going for subdued 'stock' look
B) Not gonna look faded and grimy when dirty
I really don't understand those that try to get vibrant color suspension pieces...... unless you're gonna be a show queen with mirror plates underneath your car all the time.

Black where possible, but I got boxed stock LCAs
that the dude had painted in a Hammerite dark
silver (?) that is unobtrusive enough.
Depends if you want to display hardware
or save it for a surprise.

Get pink ones! And some neon lights, and a big fart pipe! 
Okay kidding. I went black on my stuff. But I ALMOST got red. I have seen a couple locals running red sway bars, and LCA's. They do look nice....when they are clean!

and the color improves your vehicle performance how? buy what works, color is immaterial unless it is a trailer queen show car. After a few months on the street it is all grimey and discolored anyway.
Now with that out of the way I went black with everything

It all depends what you are doing with the car, if you show it just as much as you drive it you might want to choose a color and do most of your suspension in that color.
Balck is prob a prime choice for a everday driver, especially if you see alot of rain and road debree.

My STB and SFC's are Red... I'm still deciding on the rest of the parts. If you can't really see them without climbing under the car they will be red. My parts don't get too dirty cause it's not a daily driver.. I don't like when different colored parts stick out on the car.

In addition to all the regular colors we have full line of transparent colors we are offering. The part gets poweder coated silver, then a tranparent color is added on top of that, and then we go even further to put a clear powder coat on top of that. I dont have any good pictures on hand of control arms but here is a picture of a strut tower brace done in transparent blue that is on my personal car.
