Trying to think of a car with a blower sticking out of the hood that I thought to myself. "Sleeper".

Instead of pro tour, or pro street, you can have pro sleep.......
The red hood draws too much attention to the blower. With the white hood the blower will be hardly noticeable.
Oh OK...!!!!That’s like saying with the nude colored shirt you don’t see the rack

Yah, car guys are only going to see a blower and might notice the car. 
Ok I see your point now Kieth! I like your way of putting things into perspective in a relatable way!
If not, maybe some Braille.
So I found these for a deal I couldn’t say no to and they showed up today. Just have to install them and get the alignment done again. 
They look heavy.
And they look damn expensive
I hope your right Brian! James shipping weight was 20lbs. I can weigh them and compare to the stock ones when I change them out. Kieth I think on global west site they are $616 I got these for less than half that price shipped so I couldn’t say no and they were only bolted on and then removed so didn’t even have any miles on them.
Today I got the global west arms installed. I did weigh them and the global west arms weighed 9lbs and the originals weighed 10lbs. Now to get it realigned.
Finally got my alignment all sorted out. Has a lot of caster now but with the power steering you don’t feel it. Also gave her a bath today it was getting dirty. Thought the hood would be painted by now but the bars opened up so they don’t know when that will happen now. I did let it loose from a stop for the first time a couple weeks back. Obviously it’s just not gonna get great traction on the street but I felt the rear suspension work helped a lot. Last year when I would get on it from a roll it would spin hard all the way through 3rd now it is pulling hard and stops spinning while in 2nd gear and it stays straight the whole time. Need to put the slicks on and see how it does with those on. 
Well the hood has at least made it to the neighbors a week ago to be worked on but no progress yet but hopefully soon. Also retest fit my slicks and they clear with no rubbing now. Did notice they must get flat spots easy felt like unbalance in the rear but after a little driving they got smoother.
