That Ebay sellers name always cracks me up!!! (Dongparts) The car looks GREAT!!

Seriously, I almost didn't buy from him just based on his sellers name. "The donger need food!" (okay sorry 80's movie reference...I'm old) He does have 100% feedback so I took a chance.

Those grills really suite your combo of mods -- big improvement/enhancement IMHO

She looks good! You inspired me to order a set (front/back) of the CF roundels.
Brake calipers look sharp. Which caliper paint kit did you use, and how many coats?

Thanks! I used the Dupli-Color caliper paint kit. I got it at Pep Boys for $16. I did 2 coats. One thing...make sure you have about 3 free hours to do this properly and also have time for the car to sit for at least 12 hours after you are done. It gives the paint enough time to dry properly. It says 24 hours on the box, but my friend at the paint shop said since it is so hot out 12 hours should be fine. Anyway, it was a little work, but it was definitely worth it! No more dirty calipers for me!
