Thanks everyone im still really digin em Calipers look great in the sun the have a cool blue pearl effect to them... i actually like the fact that they arent all flashy colored.

@ Vini lol dude im still a poor person even more poor now with these damn rims but i couldnt say no!

@ jptl thanks man we gota get together and do a photo op one of these days.... BWW again??

@ 04 tl ... they fit good actually more room than my old set up i know totally wierd but it works just fine with those specs... could even push them out anotehr 5mm... but i think im guna lower the car some more to try and get closer to the lip of the rim...

heres a few more pics... im guna do some real photos in the next few days.

Kudos to you for having the courage to do this, I suppose. I take one look at that thing and think it isn't drivable.

The calipers were super easy to do.... I got the paint from a web site that can make any car color under the rainbow and put it in an aerosol can for you.... I choose the Lexus Starphire Pearl color... it came to me as a ground coat (which was white) then a mid coat (which was the pearl over spray) then the high gloss.... cost me around $60 with shipping....

I cleaned the calipers with simple green and a tooth brush... then masked them off with blue tape and plastic.... scuffed the calipers with some 600 grit sand paper to remove the old gloss surface to give the new paint something to stick to...

sprayed two coats of base, then two coats of pearl.... added the brembo sticker, then 3 coats of clear....

took me like 4 hours all together to finish... they look really cool for a cheap and easy mod....

great thing is you can have any color you want .... if u want the link to the paint web site let me know?
