Oh DAMN Scott!...........My eyes are BURNING! from all the red!! J/K

Are you going to install some clear coat to top of the PIMP red? That would finnish it off nicely.


BTW, it's going to look better than the silver that everyone else does!

I wish I had painted mine before I installed it. I had the paint and everything. Oh well, I guess I'll have to take it off to do it now.
