      Those look tight. I have those same rims. How did you get that lettering & how hard was it painting the calipers?

        The letters came off eBaymotors. Search for Camaro Caliper. Painting the calipers was relatively easy. Take them apart, mask of everything you don't want painted, cover your car and fenderwell as well as the suspension pieces. Spray high temp paint, then high temp clear. I sealed the letters with 5 coats of clear. Take your time and use LIGHT COATS.

              Looks BadAzz, I'm doing mine next week. I have those decals too. Except I won't paint that outer part of the caliper and mine will be in black.

                          No fair your red looks better than mine. Where did you get that paint? Maybe it's cause of the clear coat, don't think the clear coat will have a problem with the heat?

                            The red is, don't kill me, Ford red [img]graemlins/omg.gif[/img] &lt;ducks&gt; haha, go to autozone and you'll see it in high temp form.

                            The clear coat is high temp as well, 500* if i'm not mistaken, same as the paint

                            Autozone, pep boys, kragen, any of them should have the paint and clear in high temp.
