It cannot be made to look like the OEM unit, however. Our units are manufactured from billet aluminum, so they will not look like the stamped thin sheet metal OEM pieces. We can offer them in an anodized black finish if you're interested, but that will cost $25 extra.

I was wondering is the stock WGA anodized gold or is it a silverish color?

The stock actuator is stamped from thin sheet aluminum or some other flexible alloy. I imagine the natural color of whatever alloy is used is naturally that bronzish goldish color.

yeah looks like stock but has stiffer spring. remember you can take the stock WG & turn the turnbuckle all the way down to slow down boost taper...
