Well guys yesterday was probably the last warm day of the year before that winter weather starts to hit us and I figured why not do a mod before the winter comes. I decided to go ahead and paint my brake calipers. I really like how they turn out and hope that this doesn't end up being the last mod that I do to my car because by the time inspection comes I might not pass because of numerous things. Enjoy.

(Sorry for the camera phone pics...I lost my camera)

 

nice work.. i actually painted mine red like 2 days ago ha great minds think alike

 

what wont you pass inspection for?

 

what do u mean by inspection..? yeah they cam out great dude.. lol... but why didnt u take of ur calipers and paint them like that..? well either way they cam out lookin good tho.. lol

 

not feeling the blue..i feeling ricey color..but it goes with the blue leds you got..cant pass emission or inspection?

 

Emissions because my head gasket is about to shit the bed and the transmission is starting to slip so when April rolls around (time for inspection) I'm going to see what happens. If I have the money to get both repaired then I will def keep the car but If I can get one fixed and not the other then I don't know, but until that time comes I'm going to continue to drive the car and save money.

I went with blue only because it matched my LEDs inside of the car.

 

yeh - I think for the style of the first gen a nice gloss black, silver or grey would have been nice. Congrats though on your newest mod. Mine starting to look weathered but i really want a BBK but realistically its not in the budget right now so I might be paint next spring too

 

nice work...

 

Nice work, but expect that nice blue paint to last about.....oh, a year. After then it will start to lose the bright blue and become grimy and grey. Only way to maintain any caliper color is to have it powder coated. Been there done that.

 

gotta get creative with these tls
