The black limbs will actually(my opinion here) probably look pretty dang good. I really like the black/camo look. Anyways, the reason they do that is bc when the mass produce a bow, they can't keep producing limbs forever for it. They will build a large overhead of the cheapest sets they can for warranty repair situations like yours.
Cost: not much if anything on the limbs. I'd say less than 30 especially if u get the new string. A new strin will cost u anywhere between 40-100$ tho depending on what brand etc. 30$ ish to install, tune, and reset your loop ad peep. I'd say to expect around 100$ depending on the shop for everything.

look, my buddy got his pecker caught in the cam one time, had to break the bow to get his junk out...i went to the bow shop, told the guy the story, he called mathews, they over nighted him 2 new limbs, he put them on, and 3 days later i was shooting...total cost..$25, for the shop to put it back together. my bow anyways, has a lifetime warranty on the limbs, it is a mafews
(I know he was blowing smoke up the shop's butt, but still a funny story).

OMG that's hilarious! You have some of the funniest buddies I've read about on the net. And you're so nonchalant about how he broke the bow...no explanation on why he had his pecker there to begin with.

he was shooting in his living room through the hallway into the office, when he drew the bow back, the cam grabbed his sweat pants and reeled it all in, when he let go, it went back through the other way, he had to re-draw the bow to release his junk, that was after he cracked both limbs tryin to break it off his junk.

Halfbaked420: "Dude you wanna take our 4:20 afternoon break and we'll shoot some more of those arrow thingies when we're done"?
HB's Friend: "Oh crap, I just spilled the dirty water from the skull bong on my sweatpants".
Halfbaked420: "Hey dude, I just had a thought, since we're shootin bows like the cave men did, we'll just shoot with no pants on, it'll be a blast".
HB's Friend: "Awwww sweeeeet that's an awesome idea halfbaked420, lets do it".

will break your bones. So will compound bows that just blow up.
I have an older bow as a backup, especially just before or during hunting season. When you look at the construction of the bow with the bending bow, the string, and the pulleys, it's a wonder they last six weeks.
