Hey guys, I am starting to install all my front ridetech suspension on my freshly painted subframe and was wondering what i should do about all the ridetech hardware.

1. Should I paint it if so what color? (frame is black as well as all the major suspension components so I would not mind breaking it up a little with the hardware)

2. Should I just clear them? will that keep them shinny?

3. OTHER Ideas?

Thanks

You could clear them. You could also get stainless and polish them all.

I'd leave them alone. The moment you have do any maintenance, or put a wrench on them, you'll run a risk of damage the finish. If the car is strictly a show car, with the only driving it gets is on/off the trailer, then get stainless and polish them.

Thank you, that makes perfect sense!
