Weekend Decal Caliper Mod ----

Added some Grabber Orange brake caliper decals. I has the calipers painted
high gloss black with G2 Caliper paint then I put the decals on and then
did 2 coats of clear over the decals. Let me know what you guys think.

Looks good. Where did you get those quarter louvers from? I like the flush look.

This has to be one of my favorite GO Mustangs! You did a really good job. Love the custom painted pony emblems.

Hey everything looks great. I my be wrong, but I think your front rotors are on backwards. The slots should be cutting into the air as you drive forward. This helps clean the rotor as you drive. I could be wrong, just something to look into..

Jeff, you've got some of the best mods I've seen on a S197. Everything 'fits'. Nice work.

I think that the 2 tone seats would look good. I'd even consider just doing one of the 'ribs' in the seat near the headrest if you're worried about going overboard. There's a GO website w/ a bunch of guys who have done some awesome mods to their cars. If I remember what it is or run across it I'll send you a PM.

Those do look very nice!
Can't see that much of my calipers through the wheels to even warrant that stuff. Perhaps if it were a show car and I was going for every little detail.
