I'm painting my calipers tom. I have an Arctic Blue tsx, i was thinking bout gettin the calipers painted red (like a dull red, type R red, not glossy or shiny red) or maybe jus painting it the same color as the car.. What do you guys think...

 

Personally I just hate painted stock calipers especially red ones cuz it seems like Brembo wanabee. But if you really ask I'd say black would look cool and stand out since many peeps out there are using red.

 

brembos come in all kinds of colors, so IMO painting any specific color doesn't mean anything. IMO I'd go w/ whatever matched the car color AND the RH you have.

 

man, ur going all out b4 HIN eh?

painted calipers look ok, some members here have painted them red and blue and posted pix awhile back

 

lol yeah.. i hope everything gets in on time..

 

Member TSXY did it a while back. Hope this works:

I did mine few months ago. May be try blue? I think it looks good with artic blue

 

Damn! i was supposed to go to get my calipers painted today, but the damn store dont even kno how to get my rims off... Their tools are too fat, they said they rather not scratch the rim, so they wont do it... MAN o MAN! im way to impatient... well ima have em done on thursday by somebody else.. Im gunna get them painted red... while i put on some other goodies....

 

didn't know how to get your rims off? please never go to that store again, they are incompetent.

if you mean calipers, you don't really need to remove them. I don't think you need to have a store do it for you. you can remove the wheels with the jack/wrench that came with your car. possibly borrow some jackstands and you can do it yourself.

 

yeah, dont go back to that shop...cant get rims off?

 

Why didn't they just use the tools that come with the car (in the trunk)? Don't go back to this shop, please!

 

racing zone will do it for like 30 bucks i think. they're probably booked this week though.

wow. you trying to get some mods done eh? the valve cover is in stock over there, i don't know if the spark plug cover is. call jhpusa.com and see if they have it.

 

yea z, got some things in plan... hehe, its all comin in on thursday.. i hope i still get a chance to see your car, if im gettin the parts installed... then im callin ya up to check it out also. Racing Zone put the RH c2's, so ima jus see what tool they used to take the wheels off.. cause its a certain size that will fit on the key, and wont scratch the wheel, to get the locks off the rim, I can paint it myself, but ima bit busy since summer school jus started, and wouldnt mind payin 20 bucks to get the job done... I doubt ill step foot into that store, funny thing is, Autofashion is pretty big here in kissimmee... too bad they dont even got the right tools to get some simple rims off a car...

 

30 bucks for painting calipers?
you serious?...that paint material itself is over that price i believe

 

what can't you take off?!? are you talking about that ring that covers the lug nuts?

1. first use the plastic key to take off the outside ring.
2. then pry off the lug nut cover ring.

dunno?!? it's pretty straight forward. i think i had to buy the platic thing to take off the wheels....i'm not to sure what you're talkin about

 

its very simple, but they jus aint have the tool.. im gettin them done tom, along with the other parts.. once again.... Lookin for a spot at hot import nights.. someone call me if they sellin the spot... or jus post up on this.. thanx yall...

 

sooo lucky..that your having a HIN cant wait when it comes here in VA I should be ready...or one close to it...Make sure you take pic's, you have to its Florida ... Good Luck.
