throttlebodies are *IN*

Scott-
  What?    Leave the dampers the color God intended: yellow!
Do you want the ricer look (painted, like, blue?) or the racer look
(original yellow )?
I've seen guys paint their Red Ryders yellow so they'd look like the premium
(Koni/Bilstein) stuff, and now you want to go the other way???  That's EVEN
WORSE!!!
