Apparently it was considering the responses he’s been getting.

The back looks good, so does color matched.

Agreed - the black with the white will work. The red and black works too I think but I prefer the colour matched myself

Looks clean! I will be installing black lowers on my 08 105 anniversary. I have a copper and black paint scheme, so I don't think it will look too out of place. I just can't justify the cost to paint them anything other than black...

I like it. It keeps all of the black down low and blends in nicely.
