HAH! Lee, I was looking at pictures before I read your note....thinking what the heck did someone do to their Goose???? Knock offs????
I didn't like the rear "dungeon" look in the Goose.....don't like it in 'Merican car front bays either...... So this was the reason I did mine in silver (after repairing LH rear shock tower)....so that I could see grease/oil spooge and cracks.....and on one of the first times we took a trip to one of the POCA rallys, we encountered a severe construction pavement transition on the way home.......and when I got home, sure enuf, there was a crack on the RH rear shock tower plain as day in that silver!! I can't say that it looks bad or good.....but I like it! "It's my car!"
As far as blacking the suspension etc parts out...... "one or two puddles and it isn't black any longer"!!!!
Cheers!!!
Steve
