nice, is that mat, satin or gloss black powder coat?
those are 20" rims? how much did it cost you to powder coat? I got quoted $550 yesterday that without tires (if I just bring the wheels to the shop)

I used G2 paint, it looks good from far, but far from looking good if you really stare at it. I need to paint it again, I live really close to the coast, by the time i got the calipers prepped it was midnight and the fog started to roll in.
Paint wouldnt stick like it does in the videos, going to give it another shot when the temps warm up in a few weeks. Quote:
The pictures don't do it justice, i also order a griot's garage orbital polisher with a paint correction kit, going to clean it up and send more pictures. I also have a few things lined up next, i want to vinyl wrap the headlights and tailights to give them a slight smoke and then lower the car with the H&R kit. |

That's dark tint all around looks so good, if I didn't get tickets for tint already, I'd do my windshield, but that would get my local police too moist.
Love the yellow calipers, as well. I know you said you did them, but is it paint or powedercoat? |

Just bloody installed them LOL!! It took me 6 months to gather the parts as I was not willing to spend 5k on headlights for this car. All in all maybe I paid $2000 shipped for everything.
