I had both purple and blue arms. Went with the purple because the blue had a slight fitment issue, don't know why they should have been the same. Plus, everything AE has blue, so I liked the purple just to be different. I think you should leave it. It looks good.

EXTREMELY NICE!!!

I thought the faded blue stripes on the shocks were shadows from the spring...then i realized the shock bodies are semi transparent.

Never seen those types before.

AWESOME!!!

those blue stripes are actually rare MIP blue silicone shock seals, they make shocks buttery smooth

You need a buttery smooth shocks for the buttery smooth looking car. Very nice build! Maybe you should keep an eye out for those MIPs.

I think you should find some blue lock nuts for those shock mounts :) Love the HG shock bodies and hardware.

Nothing has changed on this one lately, not sure what body I want yet, ive tossed around the idea of a nascar truck body, but I also really like the saleen mustang body with the tim allen paint scheem.

I see...well i will keep my eye open for body updates....the Saleen Mustang is a hard body to get. Ive even searched for the HPI version to no avail but thats all good....I have a 66 mustang, 70 mustang and 2005 mustang to choose from, lol and me...i chose a 41 willy for my project, hahahaha.
