My favorite is Burnt-Copper, BC that's what I roll.
I think red or blue would pop nicely on silver.
Black has the best contrast.

Looks sharp! Love the Vibrant Red.
Your spacers are 20F 25R?
What height are you lowered to, and do you have any issues with rubbing the rear liner since you put the spacers on?de
I noticed the liner on my '13 is somewhat lower and inboard from the fender edge as compared to the fronts, and I'm curious if I space the wheels flush they might rub on bumps.

BTW loving the progress on your Vibrant Red G too, was keeping an eye your coil install, looking good!

I'm riding on Swift Springs, I haven't checked what my ride height has finally settled out to but there is still a slight fender gap. I don't have any rubbing issues even when I hit bumps its still all smooth. I'll try and find a flat spot today or tomorrow to measure height to give you something to compare to.

I'll write up a review after a week or so.
Looking forward to your gap measurements.
It looks solid.
I'll start hunting down some 20/25 spacers locally, or order them if I can't find them.

Brake upgrade: Stoptech and Hawk HPS 5.0... didn't get to fluid flush yet, figured I might wait till next week since I'll take the wheels all off again to check torque on my spacers.
Still love the spacers... (Bikezilla got measured: I sit approx. Front 26.9" Rear 27.4" )

Thanks! Yeah, after much research it seems that the 5.0's should be just aggressive enough for daily "spirited" driving. I've been racking my brain on a good place to bed the pads... the recommended method that I've read in various threads on this forum is a little more aggressive (series of 60-10 w/o stopping) than what Hawk lists (series of moderate 35-0, then a series of harder 45-0). Either way accomplishing this, w/o attracting too much attention or being dangerous to other drivers is my concern. Might have to go out early morning tomorrow.
