Looking good. Thinking about doing mine, but not sure what color. My car has the same color scheme as yours so this is good to see what yours looks like before i decide on a color for mine. I'm thinkin blue or red

What did you use to paint them? Caliper paint kit?

I did my 05 with Red Dupli-color but I think it needs baking or a coating as after a few months chips started to show up !

Not trying to hijack the thread, but anybody have advice on what color to paint mine? I've been waiting to do it for quite some time now. Just undecided on the color: Black? Red? Blue? Grey?
