    I'm not a big fan of the clear vinyl covered lines, as they do tend to darken/discolor over time...

    Try wiping them down with some solvent; lacquer thinner or acetone seems to work the best. But even this may not work, as the discoloring can go 'into' the plastic. As a worst case, pick up some vinyl seat dye at the local auto parts store and 'paint' the coverings black. You could even pick a color and 'match' them to your paint color...

      I use road gunk to cover the ugly plastic...
      If it doesn't have an engine, it's not a sport, it's only a game.
