Default New Bonded Trunk Lip Spoiler, Painted Calipers, & Lights

Wanted to post a few new pictures of my car, painted the calipers blue, had the M5 style spoiler bonded onto my deck lid, and got my lights back from Boss Cat Designs all fixed up after some initial issues.

Special thanks to BCD for helping me with my lights. We had a few issues due to the rain up in Seattle and the dealer messing with the lights. Despite me getting frustrated a few times and probably acting like a dick he was professional and stuck with the project the whole way.

Looks pretty good. Not a fan of painted stock calipers but it's different.
The spoiler is very subtle. What he do to the lights?

I like the spoiler, did you have that mounted, bondo then resprayed? Not a fan of the calipers or blue lights. But yours is the opinion that matters.

Mounted and then bonded and painted yes.

The lights are Orion V4 Angel Eyes with a blue "demon eye" upgrade for the low beams and white eyebrow LEDs installed. Also had the interior of the lights painted to match the body color. The pictures make the lights look very blue but they aren't in person, more bright white.

My foglights hadn't warmed up when I took the picture so they look blue but are bright white after a minute or so.

As for both of your dislikes on the calipers, meh. I wasn't going to spend thousands of dollars on a new brake kit just to get colored calipers and DEFINITELY wasn't going to buy caliper covers so removing the calipers, cleaning them, and painting them seemed like the best option. They came out super clean so i'm happy.

Nice pics! It does look like you took the pics right after the hids turned on, so it hasn't warmed up and settle to its true color yet. The hid fogs give that away as well. I am guessing, 6000k?

Looks good. Maybe paint the retaining clips the same color as the calipers.
