AmazingArthur, I would paint them either yellow or red. It will really make your calipers stand out, and it'll be a good contrast against your electric blue. Why paint your calipers if you want them to blend in? They're already a dull grey, why blow 50 bucks to make them look even duller?

Where'd you get the mesh from? I've been thinking about putting some over the ducts next to the fog lamps that are supposed to feed air to the calipers. What did you use to attach it?

Oppps, threadjack.... [:I]
Thanks, I got the idea from the imports/ricers. [8]
I forget where it came from, I got it half price [|)] with my G2 caliper paint. I have seen it in a lot of the import mags. Mine came already painted yellow. I attached it with tie wraps<~rule.
Been over a year and still holding steady! [?]

G2 caliper paint at Kragen Auto Parts here in California for $18 a kit!!! Might be a price mistake as even Walmart sells it for less, but I have the guy scan it and check the price. They only stock red and yellow.

Also, my stock 2004 calipers appear to be painted silver, will the color last or will they fade/rust as time passes?

Mike
