All that work and you didn't even clean out and armor-all your wheel wells!! 
It's all in the details.
Looks good....I painted mine today, in silver. You should see my wheels wells, too.

Looks great!
Better than Red IMO, if you don't have Brembos
I'm too lazy to do the same, and wonder if dealer would take issue with it when going in for brake service?
