you think gold on the red would look good?

i said i was going to paint them pink at the meet, but you must have been jerking off when i was talking about it. ;)

Umm...you can't buy the G2 system at Pepboys. You're thinking of the Dupli-color $15 dollar system.

I haven't done mine yet (VR - GT), but I am teetering between gold (matches Mica flake), black or silver. Too much red I think.
