Except the grille inserts need to be black

couldnt agree more! i figured i would rock the all white for a few days to see how it would look/grow on me, thinking im going to put the inserts back to black later today.

also little update!

Picking up one of these this afternoon, used but cant say no to $40. Plus saves the back window when loading up muddy atv's, been there and done that with my 90 rclb.

what do you guys think? keep the rack black or spray her white?

I'd do the rack black, and the inserts as said above, too white and it'll start to look like a marshmallow haha

and as of tonight this is how she sits, it squats in the front thinking of cranking the torsion bars a little to level her.
