I would get the muffler while it is still available. You can always paint your skirts. These mufflers can't be all that old. When I bought mine, I got the last one in stock a year and a half ago. I dealt with a very nice woman who called me a few months back to let me know they had some more but wanted to get in touch with the Crossfire crowd since I was very happy with mine. The black wrinkle coating is very good and after 17 months still looks show quality. the only difference I am seeing in some of the pictures is that mine came with the classice Ansa stickers on each side of the chrome tips and after many washes and the heat of the exhaust are still looking like new.
