^ was gonna do that but I would have to replace o-rings in the calipers just for takin them apart. Would have to completly take the calipers apart to get them powder coated. Dont know how good they would look with just being painted. Looks good on stock calipers because they have texture, dont have to do that great of a job
Almost 100% of the time I would agree but I just threw mine on to see what it looks like and I dunno, I kinda like it.
Well see how long it lasts but for now I'm a fan
(Spd_Rcr, I'm really not tryin to jack your thread with a pic of my own car, just givin you something to base your decision on. Let me know if you want the pic removed.)

they need to make tow hooks with like a quick release on them. So when you do actually need to get towed, you can use a tow hook, but all other times you don't have to worry about looking ricey ^^
I wish i woulda had a tow hook when i had my car towed because they scratched the crap out of my bumper

^ lol... I kinda like it. But I dont wanna get it and then change my mind (which I probably would do) and that thing is like $80. That would be an expensive bad choice.
The o-rings I would have to replace are like $8 ea + shipping and there are 8 in total + powder coating $75 each and brake bleeding (can never get it done properly myself) and thats $50 that totals up to about $270!!! I dont think so. lol. I'll try my hand at rattle can before I do that
And the piks are cool and appreciated.

I was thinking today, what if I painted my car pearl white instead of flat white? I thought about it for about 5 hours and could not make a decision. I like 'em both! Pearl would look really good, but so would flat/matte and there arent too many flat/matte cars runnin around. So I have examples of both and Imma need you guys to help out with my choice. Im kinda leanin more twds the flat white. And remember this will be on bright candy purple wheels!

idk i just think pearl would be sick. plus if i saw a car that had flat white it would just remind me of a primered car thats not done getting painted...pearl white is sick..plus your new wheels are gonna look sick powder coated purple so you dont want to have a boring simple flat white as your car paint to go along with the wheels ......hey just my opinion bro
