Nice work. Clear corners look so much nicer than the stock amber.

You given any thought to blacking out your grill
did, but wont do it, because i have some chrome lips and mirrors to match how the grill looks now.

but i will paint the calipers next-

looking at my car, do you guys think i should do red or yellow?

Red for sure. Yellow is kinda ugly imo.

the bulbs are amber so they still flash yellow..you can buy silver bulbs that flash amber as well to get rid of all the amber completely. or you can also just paint the amber bulbs with some high temp silver duplicolor and you're good to go.

I painted my calipers black... and bought a can of silver caliper paint, just in case I got bored. I also used the silver caliper paint to paint my amber bulbs... that's 2 birds with one stone!

IMO, I think flashy calipers are stupid, when we have puny stock brakes. I wanted to hide them... rather than bring attention to my stock calipers... with their uselessly small rotors. Pssh. If you get some porsche brakes, then leave them red

yep i took it the easy cheap way and painted them silver w/ engine enamel paint.

and i think painting the calipers is worth it, just because they look so bad the way they are now. i do agree that they won't look that impressive, but at least they will add something to the car. that half grey about to rust look is just plain killing me now.

Oh I agree with painting the calipers... I just don't agree with painting them red. I am not very against it... it isn't rice or anything... but, like I said, IMO I dont think there is a point to bringing attention to stock brakes... with red paint. Black or silver just cleans them up.
