Nice work on the frame! I'd be more apt to cut the whole thing off, but I think you'll like it once you do it. Any chance of getting a full side shot of your rig (not at an angle). Just curious what it'd look like from that angle.
Have you touched it up in MS Paint or something yet?

I think it would look a bit too pimped out.
What would look better is to replace the whole thing with a carbon fibre piece. Then it looks pimped out AND functional.

Howdy! I think it is better to keep it as is, black plastic. If it was painted, it would call too much attention to it.
The fender tends to blend with the tire sort of dissapears, so it does not compete with the other body work.
PS: Be sure to save any stock parts you remove or replace with an aftermarket part because the tube frame buells are getting harder to find in original condition.
