Good job.

Awesome, I bet it looks great. yeah ideally I would have liked to powder coat mine but I just don't have the ends for that right now. I would like to see the powder coating on you're calipers.

They look great, especially against that black.

Outta curiosity, has anyone every used the duplicolor caliper paint kits, I bought a few a long time ago and just haven't gotten around to painting em, but i guess i never really heard how they held up? anyone used it or heard anything?

Looks great! My dad apparently didn't take off the calipers either when he decided to paint mine

I need to wait for the paint to dry before I can drive it up to the park or somewhere and take some decent shots of it. I also got the tail lights finished. Now I need to get the wizaired CAI. I only need a few more pennies.

Looks good man
