Jon,

I would try the RDX caliper covers...it might just fit...no need to paint and it looks better IMO...

I thought about it for the S2000 and no friggin dice. Totally didn't fit, even if bent into shape they looked retarted.

Meko, yeah, you liked the spoiler so much you got rid of the whole fuckin car!

I dig think wing spoiler before the tail light mod, after maybe not so much.

Where do you ride that mountain bike? I ride here near Tampa and we have pits of trails. Don't know what's around you though.

I ride at Markham Park, Amelia, Oletta, Virginia Key...
I've ridden Alafia up by you, I'm jealous...that is a fantastic bike park.

I immediately hated the wing spoiler once I was rid of it. No lie.

Hmmm... I was looking for a colour like the Spoon calipers have. That satin lagoon looks good, but it doesn't appear to have that slight metallic look to it.

Your calipers look good in pictures, however, I'm not sure how I feel about just a flat paint colour, you know?

It definitely doesn't have metallic in it.

but for a surface that doesn't have light naturally hit it, I'm not sure you'd see the difference anyway.

LOL...I wasn't trying to convince you btw. You asked!
