Looks great. What color is your car?

I have a Polar White xB. Might paint my calipers, too. Can't decide which color though.

Those calipers are nice but u forgot to drive your car around the block after washing the rims. The disks get rusty and should be shaved off by the pads by driving before taking a nice pic like htat

I used it as well and it kept chipping, so I powdercoated them.
