Default freshly painted calipers =)

Just painted my front calipers .. took a quick web cam pic before it got dark out. I will post more when the wheels are on, and when all 4 of them are painted.

Nice.

Hope you sanded, primered, and coated those bad boys. Other wise they will just chip and peel over time...

Mine have been going strong with no chips or nothing for quite a while now. Even with all the previous snow / salt... still looking good! :D

That looks pretty good. I wasn't sure how I felt about purple when I saw the start of this thread and the color off the website that makes the paint...

but that's pretty subdued- A very nice touch!!

Ive had the TRD drop on my car for 3 years now Mia, I've never bottomed out once and I live in the pot hole capital of the world, New York. Trust me, not only does it make the car look more agressive without going to low, it improves handling and steering response dramatically.

...btw, Sweet calipers girl.
