Installing Esky Roof Rack...

[ChrisAU]

Hopefully I'll be closing on an Esky roof rack in the next 24 hours, and it has black end caps in perfect condition. My question is, what do you guys think of leaving them black? My car is a dark color, I don't think it would look bad?

I wondered the same thing. Should look fine black, just looks even better color matched.

My thoughts exactly...I think I'll try it out and then decide.

definitely color matched.

Why wouldn't you color match them?! That's crazy not to.

...And don't click them into place to check how it looks. They can be a pain to get off once they're set in place.

Ok ok...I'll color match them haha

Yes, color matched ill look alot better and it'll cost no more than $100 to get them painted

Any reason why I couldn't scuff with some 2000 grit and spray myself? Adhesion promotor->color match spray->clearcoat? They are relatively small pieces...

I plan on ordering a touchup pen from them for a rock mark anyway...
