Black Vs Blue RPM
IMO RPM is the best aftermarket company out there. I have their A-arms, bumper, dust cover, bearing carriers, etc. My question to you guys is do you think I should use my blue or black arms? Blue is cool because it's kind of RPM's color. Black is cool because it looks stock, doesn't show scrapes as much, goes with any color body, etc. Right now I have all these parts in both colors. I have used black for a while, but the blue does look pretty cool. This is not only for my car (Stampede), but just in general. Blue is much more popular, but I just really like the black, just looks very clean. What do you guys think? Just as a FYI, I use a orange C10 Chevy, and a stock red XL-5 body. I go through bodies constantly, so don't base your vote just on that.

RE: Black Vs Blue RPM
Use both! Black for the lowers since it doesn't show wear and tear as much, and blue for the uppers because they are more visible...IMO.

I think the black looks good. Just FYI, the Stampede doesn't use upper and lower A-arms.

RE: Black Vs Blue RPM
Blue, it just looks aftermarket and not some black that looks just like stock. And it costs just as much as black so your not losing anything there.

IMO black looks pretty cool. Plus, it goes with more, doesn't show as much damage, goes with just about everything that's on the truck stock, just as good, looks more like a "sleeper"

RE: Black Vs Blue RPM
i got black arms for the front of my 18T and they look stock, i have blue shock towers because they were all that tower had in stock, if i had a choice, i don't know, i think i would stick with black, it looks "stock", costs the same... hides scratches..... just my take

RE: Black Vs Blue RPM
to me black seems to show every nick and dirt. You can see a speck of dirt on black rpm. Its just to easy and it makes the truck look dirty. I like an all black body and wing with blue rpm.

RE: Black Vs Blue RPM
I converted to all blue RPM. Thought I'd mix it up. It does look good, but I have to disagree, fuse. IMO, the black looks much better when it's dirty. That picture didn't do the black RPM much justice, but from what I've seen, black doesn't show as much. That's not to say that the blue doesn't look cool.
