Red Belt Line on my PS Mini?

Trying to decide on if I want to order a red belt line to put on my PS MC I just got my Tenzo DC6's on and they have a red lip and I was wondering if anyone has an opinion on it?

Might look good. Lyle did it on a dark silver.

If you want a cheap option to get the general idea of how it will look, run to the hardware store and buy some red electrical tape. Doesn't have to be the perfect color but you can cover the beltline pretty quick and it costs like $3. That'll give you an idea if you like it or not. Electrical tape fits perfect over the chrome on the beltline.

Plus you'll have electrical tape left over :-D

I like the plus side of that idea I just said to hell with it and ordered it. I still have some left over from my black belt line so ill just do one side and if I dont like it then take it off.

Red mirror caps might add to the total effect too. I have a buddy who put them on his Hot Chocolate Clubbie to match some red accents of applied graphics and it worked very well.

Yes here's the order number 35247. I ordered them on the 10th of Feb. I also had to pay you more for the shipping VIA paypal as well. I understand with the shipping to the FPO that it might be harder, kind of like the black grill lip and the seat delete kit. I've ordered mostly all my parts from you so far and my last two shipments have been the longest I've waited for any of them. Also here's the shipping number you gave me for the mud flaps. CJ04 4867 253U S. I can forward you the email I sent on the 4th of this month asking about them when you gave me the shipping number.

Paleo thanks for the Red mirror cap suggestion, I've been thinking about it and have been searching for them. I could always have mine painted but I would much rather be able to order them and still be able to put mine back on if I don't like them instead of having to have them painted again.

Thanks Drew, Every time I look on there they had just been sold. I've looked for a pair that are like $25 or so too so that I can have them painted.
