Yes I can confirm theyare gold outs instead of black outs. No pics unfortunately, but do remember seeing one on a news shot 15 years ago.

I wonder if they are a 578 satin finish like the black on most lower body stuff on other colours and vehicles? If it is gold it will probably be a solid too otherwise they'd have to have clear over the gold which wouldn't work too well with solid Tuxedo. |

I'd leave it all black, I reckon HX GTS and LX SLR5000 look gay-ish with that big lettering on the side. |
