Gold Calipers on my TI
I had some low quality night pics last time around. Today I took some high quality daytime shots. I really like it. It's pretty subtle and I think it goes well.
Comments? Questions? Suggestions? Concerns? Comments? :p
PS. Don't mind the dirtiness of the car. I'm washing it in about an hour. I just got home from class :p

Looks classy!
I too was contemplating the gold because all my Mazda emblems are gold. But the gold on my 8 looks more like a gold plating, very shiny. So I'm not sure which shade would look best. What shade did you use?

Since I'm here, might as well mention that I really like those gold calipers. I'm thinking of doing the same to my BB at some point if I can ever muster up the courage to actually play around with the brakes.

dupilcolor hi temp paint.
It was really bight today when I took the pics. Maybe it'll be alittle cloudy tomorrow. If it is, I've take some more pics that really show it off.

I like the gold.....looks really nice....do you think the gold would look ok with the Shinka - Black Cherry? Ive been entertaining the thought of doing the calipers but not sure of color...
