    i got in trouble fo them. i dont' know if they are illegal or not. but when i got in troble i also had underglow lights, etc on my neon. so the guy could have just been nickpicking. but i did fight the ticket and i won.

      Nice job painting, but I don't like the red. It doesn't match anything else on the car. Did you take pics of the calipers in pewter? It would be interesting to compare.

        no i didn't. trust me when i say ewwww! red runs good cause all my suspenion is red, and under my hood is red(check out my car domain) plus red is the one color that will go with any car no matter what. it's bold and a nice eye catcher.

                you can buy a brake caliper paint at autozone for like 15-20 bucks.. comes with cleaner paint scrubber and a brush. What I used on my car..

                      Kristen.. you've inspired me to re-do my calipers. Thank you. lol

                      I'm going to do a metallic blue "flake" paint this time with the engine high-temp clear coat. Right now I have black and they don't stick out enough..

                          woooo. yeppie. do you think i could get it decently smooth by hand? i have no dremel. this will be perfect as i cant drive yet anyway. did you clear coat after or no?

                            you'll be able to get it smooth by hand it'll just take you forever and lots of sand paper especially in those grooves.
