I installed my new bar extensions on my black bike a few days ago and will take pictures to post here.
Hurray for black bikes ... they don't get dirty so easily

It did let me get a black Jetta TDI Wagon though. 
Hmm the wife's road bike is black too.

...and before anyone says something, yes, I've long since removed the enormous dork disk. Also replaced the wheels w/ DT Swiss handbuilts by Joe Young, changed the pedals to Speedplays, and swapped out the bars for Deda Big Piegas
