Highlighting Bright Wings

Good example: DaveW's yellow nose.
Don't make it easy for the other driver to say "I did't see you in my mirrors."
As a FF driver occasionally grouped with FC/FA cars, we really appreciate bright identifiable wings on the FC/FA cars so that we can move over when appropriate. I have been called out a couple of times for not moving over while being lapped by FC cars, but the white VD with the black wings looks identical to the white VD without wings that I was racing. If I would have seen the wings, I would have moved over. Please do both of us a favor and make the leading edges of the wings obnoxiously bright and easy to identify....it will make for an easier, more enjoyable race for all involved. Thank you.
