This is my first thread here and I just wanted to share with you guys what I did today. I feel accomplished I painted my grill and my calipers.

 

Nice first thread, looking good!

 

Thanks, I gotta giver her a good wash tomorrow.

 

Awesome first thread Phantom! That grill came out really nice and those calipers are just GORGEOUS!

 

Thank you! Ill take some better pictures tomorrow.

 

Those vossen center caps need to go now, that red is throwing off the nice blue.
Better yet just toss the whole wheel

 

I could paint the lettering to match the calipers, I only paid 400 for the wheels and my oem wheels were pretty beat up. Im planning on getting another set next year.

 

How did you paint them? Spray or did you use a brush?

 

Installed my swifts. Ive usually always done coilovers or taken to a shop for springs and now i know why. This car in particular absolutely needs a spring compressor. I had to rent one. Never used it before and never will again what a nightmare. Very difficult install for me and took along time as i didnt want to damage the springs or anything else. Then I misaligned the top hat and had to start over. Then on one i forgot the dust boot and bump stop. So irritating this install was. I learned alot and realized if i ever do springs ill take it off and let a shop compress new springs. Anyway i got it done.

 

Finally lol! It looks amazing now man! Such a big difference esp with those wheels! Last thing you need now is the center caps!

 

Thanks Kenny well worth it no doubt!

 

Sorry you went through all that hassle during the install though but all that sweat and effort is definitely worth the time needed for this install to be successful! It'll make you appreciate it all that much more now everytime you look at it!

 

Thanks man. I definitely appreciate it and working on cars its definitely humbling when you have issues but push through. Biggest advice is walk away take some time to relax or let pb blaster soak in haha

 

I used a spray, it wasn't as difficult as I was anticipating.
