if i ever change up my teal brembo color i'll for sure go burnt copper/orange to match the headlights
Hmmm... That might be too much for the setup right now unless I go like bronze wheels or something... Iunno

it was called tangerine ballsdeep. Pretty nice, man!


it's just VHT burnt copper engine enamel, man...pretty simple application, just don't lay it on too thick, follow can instructions.
yeah, I loved the look...after going to other colors I really wondered why I had changed them.

I love my white now...but I may go copper eventually...not to be a typical whore, even though I am one...just for an idea...pretty classy looking IMO

that orange was such an amazing look. I agree, the red is too much. I have red stock calipers non bbk and it drives me nuts lol. Ill be switching to RL calipers with a white diamond powedercoat.

Your car looks sweet too man, love the wheels, very aggressive

That white looks like an off white, more towards gray. But pretty nice though. How does it do with the rock chips and dirtiness?

I just cruised up and down PCH (Pacific Coast Highway) here in sunny California and I can tell you these Akebonos bite pretty well and I have 80% less dust compare to my old pads. Such a game changer.

Naw...it's white. No issues with chipping or anything...dirty...I mean, I pass the wheel brush over them when I wash the car, but I've always done that.

I think the orange calipers would look great on your new Type S.

Meh...maybe one day, but I wanted something a little more toned down. If I redo them at some point, it would be the burnt copper...if i had kept the amber in the headlights I would have done it for sure.

Got the bumper repainted.
Knock sensor fell apart.
The crazy cats went in.
It hailed in SoCal!

How much was the bumper repaint cost? Someone did a hit and run on my back bumper a few months ago and it spider webbed the paint in the back but I just left it. Did your bumper sides get pushed out at all? I had to epoxy mine back in

It's probably one of the best mod for the buck. Huge improvement.

Mine didn't come out. It costed me $200 dollars to repaint the whole bumper again. My buddy owns a body shop.
