    Has anyone here added the exterior blackout package to magnetic gray metallic? I'm considering it, but just didn't know if the black would get lost in the darker gray. Thoughts? Photos?

    Define blackout. If you mean black overlays and accents, then yes, I think it looks good.

    Had to do my own blacking out when I got her, but never have I felt that the black gets lost. I like the subtlety

    Pickle's correct. its an older $350 clone of the Hiline, before the clones all started making the upper hoop detachable and putting weird finishes on them. (Mine came with a welded hoop and was decently powder coated)


    I like it. It will sufficiently push down tall grass and small brush, plus it replaced the zone where I seem to collect the most rock chips.

    Which of the clones out there are the best bang for the buck? Which one in specific is yours from?

    They are all pretty much a roll of the dice. Sometimes you get one with acceptable welds, sometimes you get one with sketch. I rolled the dice and got one with acceptable welds. I bought the Kuafu brand, but it looks like they changed their design recently. I don't know much about them now.
