I would leave the shocks black but get gold springs. That would look really nice.

so i got a chance to paint the springs gold today and played around with the car alittle
ive got the cheap friction shocks with the kit but dont want to put the money out for oil yet so i used some of the Energy Suspension gresse and coated the inside of the shok and reasenbled .. just like a set of oil filled with 40w oil .. nice
built some more of the car and found out the ajustable upper arms dont work ont the front so i had to reinstall the stock pices
just not sure about the bronze rims
ALL SO I DIDNT NOT PAINT OR INSTALL THIS BODY AS IT CAME WITH THE CAR AND IS ON IT UNTILL I CAN GET ANOTHER
