No way of telling until you do it.

Depends a lot if you do 70 or 80 too, especially on a long trip.

Meko, powder coating is probably the better option. Color, no idea. I've been wanting to introduce some color to my car but idk what. I like orange but being NBP it will turn into a Halloween car. I like dark blue too...so many choices.

Teal is already whore'd out. It is an awesome color though.

Hopefully will try one day, but as I remember after Virginia there are prettw good straight highways to speed up

Stay away from dark blue
We got J rocking that, well, his is kind of bright but best tone of blue.
Dark is not + not noticeable

Teal but a tone that is like away from blue, light tealish might be good
Something bright
Yes go with that

Nothing that pulls attention though. I can't remember them right now, had to go to flickr
Teal would go great with black.. no?

Is it black?



Seriously, why didn't you paint the reflector to teal
and may be make the signal clear
not smoke not red...clear like Steven's

and teal lugs too

Haha he is right you have to go lower and close the sidewall with that rim

Begs for it, I don't know, not a fan of closing the sidewall but those rims are begging for it

Oh I see now...I am fan of not lowering till the tip of the rim (hiding the sidewall) IF TIRE is not stretched!!!
You need beefy tires to rock that height

That's the reason why I loved Tyler's setup too
He tucked in stretch tires

See, idc about the height, look how awesome it sits even with 4x4 audi height
Get wider tires

I'd just be copying J though.

I don't want to draw too much attention to it. Stupid auto brakes.

Tyler, pic is broken for me.

Deciding on caliper colors sucks...so many choices...probably why mine are still what I like to call "peeling clearcoat."

But Austin - speaking of ES2s...

@ whats going on in hiyaaahhh !!!

Meko....Jeremy has trademarked every color...from black to blue to teal to orange to red to amber need his permission before you can put anything on the car....

Austin, I personally like GREEN and ORANGE a lot...I was thinking of painting a certain set of rims orange but the wife told me "they will you stupid and you will look gay"....so I stepped away from the rattle can....but the GREEN looks SICK !!! i say hit 3-4 coats of plastic drip as a primer so you can peel em off if you want to...

It's different, and let's face it...if you hate it, it's not THAT much work to change again.

BUT, just paint the covers, not the entire caliper...easier to swap out and work OFF the car.

Thank you sir... zacs2k


KJ, what are the sizes on that rim? 245 and still stretch


Jeremy you bish.... you are right
I type too fast... fingers go beyond my brain hahahaha
Parents landed to Orlando by the way
My flight is at 8.35 pm tomorrow


Swoosh you have to restart modding the exterior Don't listen wifey
Move away a little bit from that dark black on everything


Where the heck did lime green come from
Austin use that Volvo green. Be different
Black would go amazing with that green. Just like J. said, just paint the covers first and see

I don't know what we are talking about, but my vote is for Gotta Have it Green. I was close to painting my calipers this color but wanted to go with my "stormtrooper" theme.



If you see this color in person, you'll know why it's called Gotta Have It Green
