I couldn't help myself with the cheap mods once again. I painted my shocks and struts Chrome Yellow. It goes nice with the rest of the color scheme.

It does look good, but holy wheel gap bat man

 

me likey! i might have to steal that mod. my only worry would be how the paint will hold up. if it starts flaking it'll look lametastic.

 

Use a good engine Enamel and you shouldn't have any problems. Make sure you clean everything with Isopropyl alcohol first.

i like the rs xa's

 

do you have to take them off the car or can you just squirm around?

 

got any red caliper paint left? lol

 

Used Red Dupli-Color Ford Red DE1605 VHT engine paint for calipers. As for the shocks, just take off the wheels, clean, mask and paint.

 

OK peeps, we have more choices than just red:

Nice clean work, I would have thought you did take the shocks and struts off, you must have been tapeing and masking forever. The colors do look good togather, I would have never thought to paint my shocks yellow, mostly because yellow is the color that monroe shocks used to come in, and we used to paint them black to hide them.

 

YO! forget the drop throw some 22's on that bad boy! that would be original

nah jk but it does look good!

 

Masking was fast and easy. The entire job took just over 3 hours start to finish. I like to plan a lot up front.

Looking nice johncal.

I just put my TRD shocks in and it's pretty cool to know that they are pretty much the same Spectra Blue Mica you would find on the rest of the car, at least I wont have to paint them.

 

Nice mod, drop the bean..

 

Looks good but do yourself a favor and lower that 4X4

 

whoa! that xA is in dire need to be dropped! i can probably fit both of my fists in that wheel gap.

 

nedds major drop or not?

 

With all due respect,

That wheel gap is painful!

 

Love your ride, love the foglights, but you need a drop, BAD!

-THE DON

 

The painted calipers really do set it off. I might go the same way, but instead of yellow shocks, maybe also go red on them too. Thant might be a little overkill though.
