I was going to have them painted Black but after putting it on the baord a few months ago and reading the feedback I decided against it. I had them refinished and they did not charge extra for them to be painted. As Soon as I put my springs on I'll take some pics and post em. Oh I have a black 3.2. I wish I could get my hands on some inspires but it's like looking for gold and I do not want to pay the $500 value wants for them.
