Both of which are out of the budget. And silly, why make an ugly part stand out even more?

I do actually know what I'm doing and what I'm talking about when I say billet and silly chrome bits are not in my budget right now. Suspension, brakes, engine, and getting it street legal are far more important.

A can of rustoleum spray paint is 4 bucks, and does the job much better. If I get so daring I can touch it with the engine orange used on the air cleaner and block. Buying the same shiny bits that every one else has is not as cool.
