get a "VR" one or a "L" model one as they are all color coded except the bottom part. if you can get one colored then its all good, but it can be hard to find them.

best off throwing it to a sprayers, and get them to color code the entire thing. I did it before and i loved it!

cant get metal front bumpers....
