Default install cage or wait and get it powdercoated??

I got my autopower cage last night and I was thinking it'd look pretty dope in candy translucent blue.. I know the black looks pretty damn good and I know you guys are all about (function over form) but I want both so should I install the cage as is black or get it powdered blue.

here are some photos for you















EDIT: THE VOTE IS IN page 2 for pictures of the final install. It took me about 6 hours by myself

lol, it is a forest shed. I live in the woods about 30 mins out from civilization. Good for not getting my **** jacked, bad for suspension/tires/dirt.. I would but I'm broke because I spend so much money on my car .. maybe in the future I will be able to pave some of it or move out to the city so it can get stollen

I wouldn't paint it blue b/c then people will think you have a piece of **** Cusco rollbar (FYI you have a rollbar not a cage). But that's me. Plus I think it looks better in black. Anyway it's your car so you're going to do what you want anyway. BTW nice 'Lude

I'd leave it black, will look a lot cleaner with your black interior.

they can think I have a peice of **** cusco all they want because cusco does'nt even make a bar for my car ..... cusco is a show cage and I think they serve that purpose well. They look good but I would'nt want one in my car. I just like the translucent candy blue bar's .. I'll probably just install the cage as is, It looks good right now

paint it red or something to match ur seats. or white, But i dont see where blue comes in your color car scheme, except wanting a cusco cage look alike.

Plus isnt your car tinted?? So whats the point of having a bling'd out roll-bar if it wont even get the chance to stand out???

Either way, great pick up

Leave it black.
I don't think the blue will look good imo, it clashes with the white, red and green.
