If you look hard enough, you can find pics of this mod on every color somewhere on the forum. I had mine matched to my GPW, but honestly, I wouldn't do it again. I liked it at first because it was unique, but after a while it looked kind of cheap to me. For some reason the black just looks "right".

This probably sounds stupid, but I think it would look cool if you painted them black. It still looks stock, but doesn't look like pastic. Best of both worlds. Just an idea anyway.

I like it on Silver, but don't care for it on Red or Yellow.

I've loved the look on the suzuka and silvers, and was thinking of doing this to my NFR. After seeing that picture, I can now say that it looks horrible on red. I am glad I saw that picture
