Looks good. Did you remove the calipers to paint or paint them on the disk?

I took off the rotors but left the calipers on. Taped up the rotors and used my media blaster to clean off the rust. Took the tape off and degreased the hell out of them. Taped them up again and painted them silver.

I taped up the calipers and blocked off all of the wheel well with old shop towels and went to town on them with the red.

red looks good on everything, but you might want black. i painted mine black first, but i didnt like it so much on my car. silver would look oem, which any color clean looks good. tough call.

Looks great!

If you aren't sure what color will look best with your car I think you should just go black. Black calipers will go well with everything.

FRPP 5300 K springs for a 1.5" drop. Thanks for the compliment. I think it looks so much better than stock.
