massive reconfiguration time again.

I think your wife is right, silver or black for now. Like you said, you can always re paint them later to match the body colour.
Yeah I'm not even sure if I'm going to paint the body gold? I just did that to the motor compartment because it was kind of funky and different. It'll probably be a couple years before I paint it anyways and when I do I have hopes and aspirations of doing it myself. Maybe just touching up the very little body work that needs to be done (dings and such) and renting a booth and shooting it. I never see myself having 10K to get it painted..
