You could have at least cleaned out the inside of your wheel well while you had the wheels off...and some armor all. 
Looks good!

Awesome job on the calipers, but... I would have left the engine cover stock, this ain't a Civic. Keep it expensive-looking...
????? I'll let the pictures speak for themselves....
All of these engines come from cars 100k+ I would say and our Bimmers fit right in with them, hence MY red expensive looking engine cover....
