Looks good, my next mod. Sadly, I would have suggested G2 caliper paint instead. Ive used both the dupli color and the G2 and the G2 is way way better.

Well done. Hopefully, with the nice prep work you did, your results will last a few years! A nice visual improvement!
Can you comment on the cost?

They look great but you did the same thing I did and you put them on backwards the rotor you have on the left side should be on the right side. I posted pics of mine I think they are on page 3. Hope this helps.

plus the can of paint can last for quite a few cars

Cost.. No big deal
308. - 4 rotors shipped to the door
19.98 - Duplicolor caliper kit and the can of high temp clear from pepboys
I am going to have to buy another couple cans more of brake parts cleaner to finish up the job.
8. - 6 PORSCHE stickers from xenonmods
- If there on the wrong side no big deal either.. can swap that in about 3 minutes.  Thanks for the good call. I was so happy to be working on the car I didn't even look to see if there was a difference. - 12:22am. Damn had to go look if in fact they were backwards.. Yup backwards. Thankfully I just did that one today. Fix that tomorrow. Thanks again.
I was bored of looking at the car in the garage and thought it would be a pleasing project for not haveing to spend that much.

Hey Jaay,
Very nice job!!! I especially liked the screwdriver with the vise grip technique I will definitely have to try that out. I've actually had my rotors (similar ones) sitting in my garage for months now awaiting the day that I can get to that mod! I'll be doing the calipers as well. Can't wait!
BTW, is the technique the same for the removal and installation of the front and rear rotors?? Any differences?? Anything you would do differently if you had to do them again??
Thanks in advance.
