yeh i dropped it off at a shop that powder coated the wheels and painted the calipers. it cost me $950 total

Thanks for the info!

Not bad pricing, IMHO. How long did it take from drop off to pick up upon the completion of the caliper painting?

I'm sure each shop is a bit different, but just curious as I can tentatively plan my caliper painting in conjunction with any of my travels needed on the estimated amount of days required.

Thanks again.

Dream car. Just ordered a 22 x3mc. Maybe in a couple of years. Clean and mean!

Needs a paint correction and some ceramic coating. Looks great!

The ceramic coat person will do it as part of the installation from my previous experience.

Looks amazing, similar vision for what i’m doing to mine. 5% and 15 on the windshield. Keeping the wheels stock until I need to replace the tires and then will probably think of changing the entire wheel all together. Mine is black/black too but with red calipers from factory.

Really nice piece

We're twins!

Did you get the front lip and side skirts installed yet?

Also you should get color matched reflectors for the front bumper and the acexxon rear reflector inserts. Gives the rear a more aggressive look
