Replacing All the Red on Typhon 3s

[PoorInRichfield]

While I don't dislike the fact that ARRMA is all about the color red, I'd like my Typhon to not look like every other red Typhon. Obviously, to "replace the red", something has to be done with the following:

• Shell: Clear shell painted choice of color
• Shocks: Paint top cap? or replace shocks with color anodized shocks
• Spoiler: Replace decal on ends
• Frame Braces: Paint? There's a red anodized brace on the front and back of the frame that is hard to notice. I figure it could just be painted as I don't think there's an aftermarket part in different colors.
• Wheel Hubs / Lugs: Not sure what to do here. Painting doesn't seem like a good option. Are there aftermarket wheel hubs and lugs that come in colors?
  • Option 1: eBay replacement hubs and nuts

Could use some help answering the questions in the above list, in-particular the wheel hub/lug question.

Some "color ideas" without the red...

I like the green. Looks pretty awesome.

I think I found an answer to my wheel lug/nut question on eBay (What are the pins for?)

They hold your hexes on. Remove the wheel on your current vehicle and you should see the process.

The pins go thru the axle and hex to allow the driveshaft to put power thru the wheels. There will be a grub screw holding the pin in place that you access inside the axle.

Ah... I see!

Yep. They show a flat head screw for pin retention but I prefer a grub screw as it usually has a 2.5mm hex and is less likely to strip.

Add another vote for green!

Are there any ARRMA logo decals available in colors other than red? I'm guessing there are not... or at least I haven't found any.

For those of you who went the custom decal route, do you have a vector version of the ARRMA logo you could share? I.e., a .eps, .svg, or .ai file format that can be used for creating vinyl decals.
