Now one more thing to be done. Paint the Calipers....or not?

Your choice:
Paint the calipers:

1 red
2 black
3 are you crazy? it's not a civic!!

What a difference, night and day! Very nice.. My vote is to paint them black.. It will go with your "theme"..

Looks great! Really like the X6M wheels on your Alpine white. The black on the spokes really goes well.

Hit the calipers with black, haven't seen many done that way and it WILL go with your theme as Trainer said. Also, it won't show brake dust nearly as bad as red.

Titz Looking ride!
The wheels are excellent...
calipers: black or silver, or skip it, imo.

I will do those wheels one day... ;) daripper really started a trend. :D They look 10x easier to clean too.

Looks GREAT!!!! Are you planning on color matching the side reflectors Alpine White?

GAM3OVR 08-03-2010 06:23 PM

Looks fantastic, what are those additions called?

blackbumer 08-03-2010 06:45 PM

Looks amazing ! I am looking forward to put aero kit as well, and matt or carbon fibre grills. GJ !

GAM3OVR 08-03-2010 06:46 PM

Where the said Group buy for the Aero Kit? Also how hard or easy was the installation? DIY or needs professional work?

rrental 08-03-2010 10:28 PM

Thank you all for the nice comments. Really like the looks of it. Don't know yet about the calipers but thanks for throwing yellow in the mix......:confused::D.

Not sure to be honest. Looks like a lot of work for not much and it does not really bother me. And at the end it is a safety future.

-Aero kit
-black kidney's
-V8 exhaust tips
-wide fender flares
-removed badges from sides
-20" rims
-vredestein tires

and a good day of work.

Not that hard at all. Paint job has been done at a professional body shop and putting the kit on only a few hours and faith in yourself.

Yes that's true for sure. All credits for the rims go to daripper with his great looking setup.

It was around $ 850 not painted from Keslav.

Decided against painting calibers at this moment. Maybe later.

PersonaNonGrata 08-08-2010 01:56 PM

It all looks great. Once again, Alpine White proves to be an underrated color.

Go 'Nucks! :thumbup:
