McAllister lowering kit take dye?
Is the McAllister lowering kit nylon or plastic? I’d like to dye it black, but it looks to be more like plastic. Will it take dye? I fear not…

Yes, the kit pieces will take black dye very well.
I used RIT liquid dye on two different kits and they only took a few minutes to turn a deep black.

I saw this build and it’s awesome. I guess I wasn’t paying enough attention. Thanks all.

They are from Pure-Tech and mount in the grooves just like regular c-clips. They are slightly thicker, but work fine on my cars.
The have a flat side and a beveled side. And I bought a set of mini snap-ring pliers from Harbor Freight that work great...these little buggers are tough to spread apart.
