Default Lower control arms

I just installed my old (if you consider 8 months old) 3.5" skyjacker short arm kit in my 2012 Crush with black rims. Problem being is I hate how the red lower control arms look on the crush with black rims. I also hate how the skyjacker shocks are rusting. Opinions on best black lower control arms and black shocks

I'd have to go with a $2 can of black spray paint.

I agree scuff them up and paint then gloss or flat black and be dont with the control arms, as for the shocks teraflex makes some nice black ones.

Love the Crush. Paint the arms the same color and upgrade the shocks. Bilsteins are good. Rusty's new RX300's would look cool in those front wheelwells, too.
