my latest round of mods

I plasti dipped my wheels last weekend. This weekend I removed the amber reflectors from the head lights, put in white led corner lights & amber led blinkers. I'll get some night shots & update this thread later. And I painted the calipers blue. The car is hella dirty in the pics, gonna rain the next few days, so no point to wash

Thanks! Yeah it was a hard choice between the two. But I've done the white on black with red calipers on another car before. So just changing it up a little bit with the white on white & blue calipers

Nice job! Am liking the new look on the headlights.
I'm probably going to hit up the car wash again this week once the rain subsides.

How hard was it painting your calipers?

I would have gone with White calipers and black rims

Chris, the calipers are not bad at all....you can either use a brush or take em off and spray em

Thanks a lot! Yeah I did them by hand, I used the caliper paint so it would match. Brushing caliper paint on top of plasti dip is not the best lol! But it came out better than I expected
