Today was a busy day of maintenance and modding. I received a new rear bumper today that I've been waiting on for a while. My old one had a nice dent and the paint was spider webbing pretty bad. Also, I changed my oil, and plugs, and painted my calipers. Here's some pics.

Now I just need to find a good deal on new front bumper. I'm lookin for a Caracatere, Sportec, or Oetty so if anybody sees something let me know.

Oh and I'm still tryin to get rid of my 18" BBS if anyone is interested. Rubber is practically brand new on them, but one wheel has a bend which can be fixed at any wheel repair shop for about $100. I'm just tryin to get rid of these real quick so I'm only gonna ask $900 + shipping.

 

Damn I love those rims (the black ones). I know if I searched I'd find it but just out of curiousity, what did you use to paint your calipers?

 

nice work! I need to paint my calipers too.

 

Calipers looks hot under those wheels. Always so damn clean...

 

Boy you were not kidding, that is one busy day!

Glad to see you got so much done.

Did you paint the calipers on the car, or did you remove them?

Nice work!

 

car looks sick with those black wheels

 

damn the car looks sick man, your car has made me like b6's

 

Thanks guys, I appreciate the compliments! Right now the only thing thats bothering me about my car is the stock front bumper. It's just not agressive enough. Hopefully I can find a used Oetty, Caracatere, or Sportec in my color in the near future.

As for the calipers. I bought one of those kits by duplicolor to paint my calipers on my b5, and I still had a ton of the paint left over a year later. Its real easy to do. You don't need to remove them. You just brush it on. A lot of ppl think its lame to paint your stock calipers, and that you should just buy upgraded brakes, but big brake kits are $$$$$, and I don't track my car so stockers are just fine. The painted calipers deff add some bling to the car IMO.
