    Is this true for all of the replacement options?

    Makes sense if yes, I WANT to replace mine (I go to just a few shows), but not if it will look the same in 1 summer.

    Re: clear expansion tank

    discoloration if of the plastic itself not the contents. the heat in the engine bay cooks it and eventually makes it brittle. thats what happens to the dipstick funnel, and braided vac lines, etc. if you want it pretty then i would paint it.
