I know people here have painted them, I remember seeing it done. Not neon yellow, usually black or silver, but yes I have seen it done.

I need to get a camera that I can control the flash and exposure to get pictures that do a good job of showing the effects. They did a pretty good job of lighting up the turning arc for 4 wheel'n speeds...
Nice

Finally changed the rear diff oil after weeks of putting it off. What came out of there did not even resemble oil anymore it looked more like dark gray almost black colored mud lol.

Honestly I was worried about that both from the front and rear, you never know what the previous owner(s) did to it before you get it. But gladly both looked in pretty darn good shape. Aside from them being the d30 and d35 lol
