The problem as I see it is if you heat them up from spirited driving the color fades out they look like chit. Take for example the color on the EVOs. It is so common to fade them (and badly)that Mitsu is replacing them for free.

After all these years on these forums, you should now start learning the concept of online "discussion". Silly comments do nothing but make YOU look like a tool.

You telling someone how they should mod their car is not discussion.
