Default Painted Riddlers
Bought a set of Riddler Diff Covers last christmas. Loved them and decided to throw them on right away. Turns out they rust (which I probably should have known) if they are left on without paint. After letting them look shitty for most of a year, I spraypainted them black.

Well, I did my third diff service today and tore them off. I got some glossy red to match my flame-red JK and I think they turned out pretty well.

Sorry for the crappy cellphone pics

Nice! I painted mine black and used some Mango nail polish to outline the logo. Don't know how long that will last, but I thought it looked cool.

Arent the poison spyders just riddlers with their logo cast into it? FWIW I like the one with the spyder logo a lot better.

Yes. I got the PS rear in black powdercoat then accented the spider with white.
