MRR Wheels Customer service is awesome!!!

A few weeks back after purchasing my wheels from a vendor who managed to ship me wheels with the wrong offset has been resolved. Armando at MRR wheels hooked me up! They shipped me new wheels with the correct offset and some other accessories needed for the new wheels. MRR is an awesome company!!!

I painted the calipers and wanted to share them with ya all!!!

wheels look good, color of the brakes are a bit tacky. probably should have went with stock grey or black.. leave the red brakes for bbk's

btw, just a guess, your car is not a tech model right?

Lol, yes it is. I seen your pictures and the area you chose was the parking lot of Fresh Meadow Mall right?

Man, I did myself bro...it took 3 hours lol! I must have put 5 coats on each.

Thanks. The calipers were rusted and wanted to change the color... If I went grey or black, I thought all those hours would have been a waste. And yes it is not the tech model, I installed the accessory wing.

Yea some pictures are. If they were pics at the fresh meadow mall it was from the acurazine meet at hooters we used to go to.

Not bad doing it yourself. It doesn't look like the bright bbk red's people get done to their stock calipers. What type of paint did you use on them?

I used Dupli-Color Caliper Paint. They provided a lot of paint for multiple coats. If you decide to, you really need to apply many coats with the Dupli-color paint and it will be all good.

BTW, your car looks awesome. I really like the coil-overs you installed. Did ya install them on your own? I was thinking about HR lowering springs, but I am afraid I may not be able to clear my driveway's slope.

Thank you sir. I didn't install them on my own I would if I had my own tools and a place to lay out on. I have a guy who has done most the work on my car he can do installations/maintenance. If you're interested I can link you guys up. H&R's are good I know a few people with 4G's who have H&R's no complaints.

I figured it was dupli-color. I was debating whether I should use the high-heat resistant enamel or the caliper paint. I'll have to see which one has a higher heat resistance

If you are interested, you can also get caliper decals from ebay. They are good as well... They can custom size them and I placed mine right in the middle of it...

Duna, the wheels and calipers look good-I like the red! I probably would have applied the ACURA logo on the brakes horizontally across the caliper, but.....

One can does the job...I must have applied 5 coats on each and I still have a lot of paint leftover.

Thanks! I would have done it horizontally but the gap in the middle is quite deep. It looked empty without it, so I just did it...

I was thinking about it... Not sure if it is worth the money. I would rather spend the money on the lowering spring or coilovers. I'm still debating if I should do that mod...

Decisions,decisions lol,imo it is worth the money but the lowering springs will give your car a nice stance,so yeah hard choice but what the heck we only live once so do them both hahaha.
On a more serious note if you do lower the car with the H&R springs let me know if you had to roll the fenders,i would like to do it but don't want to roll my fenders,thanks.
