Colored Shock Boot on Stock Rubi Shocks ?

When I install my lift I'm thinking I want to throw on colored shock boots to add some color to my all black Rubi. Can I toss on colored boots to my stock Rubi shocks? If so, which work? Got any good links to some good ones? Thanks!

Generally not a good idea to run boots on your shocks. They collect and trap dirt, debris and moisture which, in turn, can destroy your seals and accelerate rust on the exposed piston..

And since you're in NYC, add slush and salt and whatever other crap they put on the roads in winter getting trapped in them. They'll rust and go bad in no time.
