I approved this for you, but you forgot to add a poll.

You should be able to add the poll... If not, pick the colors you're thinking about and I'll add them for you.

I'd probably go for red...

Agree... And I'm leaning towards a stainless steel/gray color. Kinda like the G37.

The poll looks right. I looked it up in the admin panel which doesn't change who voted even if the number is switched around by a supermod or admin.

Red is the winner with 6, followed by yellow with 5, and then orange & blue tied for third with 2. All the others have 1 vote.

Blackjack--there is a chrome and a silver option. You are the only voter on silver.
