I have red 2007, and I was never crazy about the black side pods with the kind of cheesy decal on top. I always coveted the full red side pods from 2006 models, but they cost in the neighborhood of $60 each, so I resisted the temptation to buy them new. A while back, someone was parting out a wrecked 2006 - it had the red pods, but they had a little road rash. I thought maybe I could hide the rash with a decal or do something, so I went ahead and bought them for about $20 each if I recall correctly. The rash was right where you would expect, on the part that sticks out the farthest. I experimented with some different potential decal shapes, using black electrical tape until I came up with something that looked reasonably OK. Then I took the shape made of tape off of the pod, stuck it to a piece of sheet metal, and cut out a pattern. I bought some black decal material online, cut out two decals, and stuck them on the pods. The result is shown below:
So, do they look OK, or should I have just bought new all-red ones?
