Great job with the calipers.

I've been postponing this mod forever, I need to get going with mine.

+1 here as well...

The calipers/hubs look GREAT. Hope the roudels turn out!!!! What paint did you use? Spray or brush on?

Thanks everyone. Honestly it hasnt been as bad as i thought it would be. Roundels are a pain in the ass. Just got done spraying them, we'll see how it turns out.
