Serp bracket color?

I'm finishing up getting the 355 in and was debating on the color of the serp belt brackets. I will either just clean them and leave them the normal aluminum color or should I paint them black? I think just cleaning them up will look better but I just don't know. What do you think?

Here is the color scheme, pretty basic and clean.

I like the look of bare aluminum.

....I actually had mine powdercoated to look like bare aluminum, but make'em even nicer, and a LOT easier to clean!

That's a good idea. I have 2 sets so maybe I'll have 1 powder coated.
