I like the color. I wish you would have completely covered your bumper and fender.

I think if you took some green to other areas of the car, it'll help break up the calipers so you don't immediately stare at them.

It has potential, that's for sure!

Thanks!,Yea you should do it, it was fun, and plus its just spray paint so you can always sand it down again and paint it a different color
