Default Painted my calipers today...

Got the duplicolor caliper paint kit (black) last night, painted them today.

Camera flash makes it look kinda crappy.
I wasn't supposed to paint that bar that runs over the rotor below the caliper, and the two pieces it's connected to, right? I wasn't sure so I just left it ugly...but if it's paintable I'll go back and do it tomorrow.

Went with black because I don't really want them to stand out, and thought it would look good along with the FR500s, which get here Monday, with the rest of my stuff




Going to get tail-light tint and the trunk vinyl sometime later, hope to eventually have absolutely no color on my car..lol just white/black/gray.

looks good. I contemplated doing black when I did mine, but I ended up going with that sporty red look instead.
