To go orig. colors, or not to go orig. colors. That is the question

The rear is a 8 1/4 with a wore out sure grip. Works about a 1/4 time. Plus it may be bent as it was hit in the 1/4 (may be why the sure grip doesn't work. I heard the auburn sure grips can't take an impact). As far as I am concerned, those kind of upgrades won't hurt the value at all.
