Love the calipers!

omg those brakes are sexy. cant wait to see the rims on and the handles painted...
|
I like that yellow! Nice build :)
|
I am getting my wheels/tires and my test pipes and intakes put on tomorrow at Supreme Performance. I probably won't get my handles painted until next week sometime.

Looks sweet! :tiphat:

I got some of my goodies installed today. I am heading to Vegas right now so I'll post some pics on Sunday night.

I got in kinda late so I didn't have time to take more pictures. I'll take some tomorrow. I'll just leave this to hold you guys over. :D

Did you powder coat those calipers or did you buy new ones? How much did it cost if you got them powder coated? |

I painted the calipers myself with high temp engine spray paint from PepBoys. I ordered the Akebono decals online. Then cleared it with high temp clear. |

Did you have to remove the calipers or did you just cover it while it's on the car and just spray? How many inches is the decal on the calipers? |

You done a great job painting them. I am to impatient to paint anything decent, I never let things dry long enough :icon17:

I hate painting too. I have no patience. I knicked the caliper with the wheel and had to touch it up, it was still a little wet. I didn't want to wait until they dried lol. But I definitely recommend waiting til they are dry before putting the wheels on. |

I masked it off with tape and newspaper/trash bags. I waited about 5 mins between each coat. I did 5 or so light coats. Let it dry all the way for about 45 mins... It was warm out btw. Then 3 light coats of clear. I didn't paint the backside of the calipers. You can't see them anyways.

Dupicolor Engine Enamel... You'll only need one can of whatever color you want and one can of clear. The color and clear are both the same brand and name, Duplicolor.

Headlights painted tomorrow... Or today technically :)
I attempted to install my new AeroJacket spoiler but cannot get the stock spoiler off. I am going to see if the body shop can do it Monday when they paint my door handles black. |
Today at the Z West Coast Nationals...

Nice build! Any closer shots of your headlights?
|
Coming together nicely. Can't make my mind up on these or some F14's.
|
Thanks.
I'll take some closer photos of my headlights and post them later this week. I just dropped off my to get my door handles painted and my spoiler installed. |
How long did you have to wait to drive when you painted your engine cover?
|
I let it dry for a few hours in the sun. Then I installed it and drove my car. Just make sure it's completely dry. To be safe, overnight.
|
Spoiler installed and door handles painted!

Any plans to black out the tails darker since you are near murdered out?
I need that spoiler too! |
They are pretty dark as is now. The lights are on and I think it's the camera that made them look brighter.
|
After hearing/seeing the fitment issues with the EVO-R diffuser... I decided to pay a little more and order the Fujimura one from Japan instead :D Once that is installed my car will be complete!
