Color is completely personal preference! I've only personally seen it in Maya Gold, Java Black, Tonga Green, and Zambezi Silver. I can't imagine it would look bad in any of the very conservative colors Land Rover has chosen. I've seen photos of other colors.
I didn't really look to see if the tiedowns swivel in the LR3. I know they do in my Range Rover.
I don't like that brush bar, either. I was just taking pictures of everything they had, since the pictures in the kit catalog don't always give the best or closest shots of things.
