I ended getting all new parts, but I really saved on the headlights! I got a pair for 900 new and with free shipping! So that's what really helped out!

I love it, although it doesn't look orange in that pic, more like yellow. I've been wanting a metallic yellow on my calipers, against the Moonlight White. Either way, those are beautiful.

Thank you. I have a platinum graphite sedan with gunmetal sport rims. I didn't want the normal red or black. It sorda changes color with the sunlight. In the shade its like a dark orange. Then it lightens up with the sunlight. I just hope it looks right.

Those came out excellent Mike, was that a local powder-coater or did you send them out? If so you might want to give a shout out, looks like a good source for quality work
Very nice change in colors, look forward to install pics.

Thanks brad. Yes they are local. Coast to coast powder coating in central jersey. Prices are really good also. 45 a caliper for single stage. Then add on ten for each additional coat. I had mike the powdercoater send them some hi temp decals that can be cleared over and baked. He did not charge for the clear. So 220 for the work and 30 for the decals. They also did my gunmetal sport rims for 80 a piece. The only thing holding up the install is my inability to decide on brake pads. Lol. I will be sure to take plenty pictures after the install. Also I cannot post more then one pic at a time from my phone. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks everyone. I now have everything i need to do the install next week. Except brake fluid. What's everyone's consensus on brake fluid. I'm leaning toward motul rbf 600. I never track the car, just some spirited driving once in a while.
