if you think it looks dull and needs polish... it is two different marine grade vinyl types. 

i like how the shiny part goes w/ the carbon fiber.   ;D

I wasn't sure it was such a great deal; but then I saw the feline seal approval.

Congrats! It is an excellent deal!

Honda wing- yes. Anyone makes a Power Ranger crack tell 'em you wouldn't know...  the cool kids were usually busy watching Moto GP.

I have a set of red roadrace boots in a size 10 that would match those perfectly.  What size boot do you wear?

Don't forget to buy a back protector also.  Even if the suit has one in it, you'll want to buy an aftermarket one.  I use a technik one and it hasn't let me down yet.

normal size for me is 10.5... if they're any on the big size they might fit.  10s normally don't fit very well.
and, yes... thanks for the back protector suggestion... i've been looking around a bit.

I have a set of black 10.5/11's that a buddy of mine is selling.  $80 or something reasonable.  If you're coming to ABQ for the trackday, you're welcome to borrow them.

Nice score.  I am looking for something a little less flashy for myself.  Let me know if you spot one of these babies for sale.  I'm all over it:
