Nice Job

Tell me a little about the Calipers and how you did that, also did you replace the decals or paint the Porsche on them ?

Also what is the rod sticking out from the wheel...a guide rod ??

That comes with your tool kit to help put the wheels back on the car. Little more difficult to do when not using.

I used VHT Red Caliper paint and some clear VHT. You can get the decals from eBay. Put them on before the clear Here are some links:

Just prepped & painted them with high temp enamel. They are decals I painted over with clear enamel.
