Default Red or Black MWC FAB 9???

Just ordered a MWC FAB 9. Can't decide on which color to powdercoat it. My car is a track only car. Red '99 TA. Should I go with Black to blend in or Red to match color of car and show it off? Thanks George

Fab 9's are too sekzy to not show off with a bright color if your gonna pay to powdercoat it I say.

I vote black....damn George, I'm jealous. I want a MWC 9" so bad, but my modding is on hold for awhile. Thinking about buying a house and want my finances in order. Looking forward to seeing you this spring at the track!! Your car is going to be sick!

One thing to think about: if you get black and wind up chipping it (rock chips, slip with a wrench, etc, etc) black powdercoating can be touched up really well with POR-15. Get a tube of it, carefully touch it up, and you have a durable repair that isn't noticeable unless you are really looking at it.

Didn't come up with it myself, but boy have I used it.

I ordered mine in black, I like it to blend more than stick out, just my opinion.
