        I prefer the look as-is.
        A good balance of white, black and chrome.

                  I agree with everyone so far. Looks great as is. Also, I've seen white high temp after a short while and it was turning yellow. My 2 cents, Ray

                          The contrast between the black and white bits looks perfect the way that it is.
                          Please don't change it.
                          Did you and Martin hook up yet? He just acquired a RC-51 last week to go with the Firestorm.

                              Nice pic, I like the way it looks as is.
                              However I bet you could put some white candy stiping on it for a cool and I bet completely unique look. Think black and white barber pole.
