You wanted turbo's in black? here's mine, I also went the yeller callipers. Love the contrast. As for PCCB's, if I could afford em, and they would fit, I would have em, buuuuut I can't, they won't, so I have yellow paint! Steve http://lh6.google.com/986rgt/RirLy8f...%20%283%29.JPG |
DJ, good work as always!

Looks so much better without the red pinstripes! I agree with one of the posters here though--a polished lip would look pretty badass.
As for rust, I do the same as Grizzly--clean everything, drive around the block, wipe out the wheel wells. But yeah, I only have five spokes, and especially now with the Cayman S wheels, they're very easy to keep clean. Yours...not so much. :) |
i love the yellow, i may be motivated to do something to mine, after 9 years the black is looking a little bad.
Keep up the good work. |
Good job, DJ !

but new ones should be on pretty darn soon |
Sweeetttt Yellowwww is the way to go. I love yellow calipers. I'm gonna re-paint mine next week. I bought Grey decals to put on. So i thought i'd give the calipers a fresh coat of YELLOW paint.
Sweet kar dj! |
OHH and right now i have white decals, but they don't look good on yellow. doesn't stand out...you can barely even see the white decals. That's why i'm puting grey decals...should look good..i hope!

I am inspired. Is there some DIY guide to doing this, or is it just as simple as:
1) remove wheel 2) cover disk 3) paint caliper with special paint |

decals are on, i LOVE how this whole thing turned out.
i put them on last night, alnog with another 3 coats of yellow. and as for how to paint them, just please make sure that you clean them really good, and when you think they are clean, then clean them 2 more times. mask everything off relaly good, this is spraycan, so it will go everywhere, and use light coats, then when you think its yellow or any other color enough, do one heavy coat to get some gloss out of the color, which will also make for easier cleaning later on. best way to cover the whole area around the caliper is to get a big garbage bag, cut it so that its one big sheet, and then in the middle make small cut, and then put it over the caliper, and since the bad is stretchy you can make just pull on it until you can slide it on the bottom covering everything but the caliper...kind of like when youre putting a rubber band over something, its small, but as you pull more it stretches over and when you let go it just tucks in under....i dunno if that makes sense, but try it, it worked great for me heres a quick pic of decals on http://i16.tinypic.com/62dudsz.jpg |
Looks great! Now I have to find some time to do mine.
