started the caliper job tonight. got the rear 2 done. hub and calipers black!!! then when i was looking at the wheels i lost it. the blue and white blades MUST GO!!!! so i started taping, cutting, and painting the roundels. if i mess them up oh well i will buy new ones. im a diy girl and im doin' work!!! teaser pics below. lookin to finish the fronts tomorrow, must let the car sit for awhile for the paint to completely cure but will have a finished product look for you guys mid week. thanks for looking, suggestion, comments, and feedback welcome!!

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.
