any reason you chose not to paint them the same color as the car ?i was thinking of doing mine the same as the car, ie impulse blue

cos the car is black and i have red plates on it and red interior... so i guess i have a red and black theme going on

plus they were already black so i figured it would be good to do something different

im a little upset that the 175 doesnt have the black inlet manifold thingy cos it would look sooo much better!

(see VZSV6's picture which i will link to soon)
