I may have to keep that in mind. I'll have to have a decent amount of expendable income before that though. Thanks for the info.

i voted black, but thats because i have a green car. But im with everyone else, if the car is red the red would work. Just mostly depends on the color of the car.

Depends on the part...I like my LCAs and torque arm being red, and I used to have red LCA relocation brackets. That is until I saw how they looked from behind my car when my wife was driving it...looked like ****. When I ordered new ones from UMI, they were black.

I like to use the red for accents, but I want most of the stuff black under there. I've seen people with red subframe connectors that could be seen from the side, and it just didn't look right at all.

I have a red Z28 and all my BMR suspension stuff is all red! I LOVE THE LOOK OF ALL RED UNDERNEATH MY CAR! I have BMR chromoly adjustable lower control arms, lower control arm relocation brackets, adjustable panhard bar are all red. And actually my KYB AGX adjustable shocks are even red, but I wasn't planning on getting those shocks cuz I wanted the Bilstein HD shocks. I waited over a month for the Bilstein's last spring cuz they were on nationwide backorder for the fronts, so I decided to go with the KYB AGX shocks instead. And this winter I'm installing BMR driveshaft safety loop, adjustable torque arm, torque arm relocation kit, and boxed subframe connectors all in red!
