I painted mine with the calipers on...just removed the tire. I'm sure you can do a better job by taking the calipers off but mine turned out fine. |
It is a simple mod that most anyone can do and is inexspensive as well :)

Been looking alot at rims, I was thinking of getting ADR Cyphers in Gunmetal. But now I'm thinking of getting an exhaust or getting drilled/slotted rotors. |
Rx hawk, that looks great and without the aftermarket wheels. I must say that if I'd known about the light grey totone seat option ,I would never jumped on the rednblack seat combination......nice photos.
