Thanks guys! and for the peeps who are asking why red and not body color?

just thought it would be overkill to do it like the outside color. at least red would kinda stand out. but thanks to all!

Thats what I said about my calipers and strut bar.......with ABP, any more blue would be overkill. I even thought my lugnuts were too much (but they matched with the Volks).

Looks good Red contrasts nicely with ABP.....

I assume some sanding was done, also, to remove some of the surface texture.

Wouldnt always have to be but its possible. If the prep work was done right to begin with to smooth out the surface it would lay really smooth with out teh need

Here is mine with out wet sanding
