    I've seen guys paint them anything from red to neon and everything in between.

    I've actually seen some pink ones in town. But they were mega custom.

    It will still show pretty good. You will want to clean and paint the Maxtracs for sure.

    Custom color on the lettering looks really nice in my opinion

    yeah I've read that you should put a few extra coats on to prevent rust

    Definitely, just clean them up (you will see what I mean when you get them)

    And hit em with Rustoleum, give it a couple light coats, then a couple heavier ones and you will be good to go.

    Mine have no signs of wear and tare at all.

    Gents! Need some help trouble shooting. Since I installed the spindles, I'm getting this "clunk " sound usually when I make a slow sharp turn in either direction, and also occasionally when if I have to brake hard. Kind of sounds like something setting but it's loud enough that when I'm parking and it happens people turn around to see what it was.
    What could be the most likely culprit ??

    Tighten up the Cam tabs on the LCA's - Did you get an alignment? Sometimes the dont torque them enough and it could cause what you are describing

    I'd do like @Pushincaskets, check & re-torque everything that had been taken off or loosened. Even the lca's like mentioned before.
