Hit your hubs with a black rattle can. I had to do that a few years ago, it lasts a long time and covers the rust, now that I think of it I used Rusteoleum.

And the black on the Orange looks great.I painted my left side hubs white and the right side red. Then sprayed a matching small spot on the inside of the wheel. I've never had to remember which side my directional tires are mounted on when I do a swap at the track. I'm just thankful I'm not color blind while the memory is failing.

I see it's an 08. The diffs of the 08, at least in my experience, are quite strong (knock on wood). I currently have ~150 passes on mine with about half of them making 500whp. I know it won't last forever, but so far, so good. *fingers crossed*

Thanks Josh... May need that clutch sooner than later! LoL
See below msg!
Though this could be b/c theres a good amount of heat in the clutch after driving around for a bit AND/OR im not letting the clutch out quick enough, and im slipping it too much intially. Only way to tell is get to the track... Lol, so back to wazslows msg, need to figure out when to get there!
