Red Calipers on Sunlight Silver RX8 + Fender Strakes
Decided to do a little something something to the 8. Had the windows tinted, painted the calipers red with G2 Paint and put Fender Strakes on. Overall everything went well and everything looks good. I'm going to take better pics later on in the week when the 8 is washed and the wheels are shinning!
But until then, here are some quick pics:

I think I will be grinding mine smooth and painting them black. Check out Devoid's calipers

after painting mine with duplicolor, I tried out G2, it's well worth the extra cost.
Also, sanding down the caliper before painting helps make it looks smooth and crisp (and I don't mean using sandpaper by hand).

Oh come on the pads are look good. At lease you did not get over spray on them lol. I for one would have not went with red but silver on silver would have been cool too.
