That's what I was thinking.

I love the look of the '32 shells, but I'd rather keep this one looking like the '29 that it is

Besides, adding a '32 shell and insert will easily triple the cost of an otherwise simple replacement

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and I behold that a '28/'29 PAINTED BODY COLOR shell is about as nice as they come.

I agree.

If you're wanting to stay with the original look, then I agree that the shell painted to match your body color would be a better look than chrome, but as Tech says, you're the one it has to please.

After reading this, I asked the photoshop crew on another messageboard to paint the shell orange and this is what I get






About 30 minutes later, I get this



I know it's a bad job, but I'm still kinda torn between colormatching and a chrome unit
