Got some stuff powdercoated on my 2011 M8 153 Sno Pro
Went with black rails and a arms. Blue spindles, rear suspension arms, and rear bumper
I wanted to do blue a arms, but figured black are a lot easier to replace if I break/bend them. I am running chromoly a arms from Alternative Impact as well. Saves 3 lbs and I figured why take something stock off and not put something aftermarket on?
I also have blue running board edges but need the pneumatic riveter from work to do the huck rivets. Will post pictures when I get them on.
I am also running 2005-2007 style spindles. Trying to reduce steering effort with the Powder Pros. Love the PPs in the powder, but they steer hard on my 2011 and on my 2009. Steered just fine on M7. Steering seems lighter just turning the bars in the yard and in the garage. I will give some feedback once I get a ride on them.
I'm also running the AMP riser and 2 Cool side panels and clutch vent. Also have a Cutler can, but stock otherwise.
Anyways, what do you think of the blue? I am debating painting the hood the same color or leaving it white? If I leave it white I plan on having SCS make me a blue decal for the center of the hood.
I was also kicking around doing the 08 Nightfire M8 decals or maybe something custom. Not sure what though.
