I got some of my goodies installed today. I am heading to Vegas right now so I'll post some pics on Sunday night.

I got in kinda late so I didn't have time to take more pictures. I'll take some tomorrow. I'll just leave this to hold you guys over. :D

I just may attempt to install my front lip and CAI on saturday instead :)

Where did you order your halo's at?

Did you powder coat those calipers or did you buy new ones? How much did it cost if you got them powder coated?

Idk where the halos are from. I am getting the headlight housing painted by someone And they are also ordering and installing the halos for me.

I painted the calipers myself with high temp engine spray paint from PepBoys. I ordered the Akebono decals online. Then cleared it with high temp clear.

Wow thanks for the info! Helps a lot :tiphat:

Did you have to remove the calipers or did you just cover it while it's on the car and just spray?

How many inches is the decal on the calipers?

I masked off the rotor. First it needs to be cleaned with brake cleaner. I spent about $28 for paint and the decals. Bargain modding in style! Lol

Mr&Mrs 04-22-2013 11:42 PM

You done a great job painting them. I am to impatient to paint anything decent, I never let things dry long enough :icon17:

TaylorRyan370 04-22-2013 11:45 PM

Decals here: http://www.the370z.com/body-interior...-decals-5.html

I hate painting too. I have no patience. I knicked the caliper with the wheel and had to touch it up, it was still a little wet. I didn't want to wait until they dried lol. But I definitely recommend waiting til they are dry before putting the wheels on.

Wow it shows that you did an amazing job! I thought a pro did that haha. What did you masked it off with, if I may ask?

I too am impatient.. How long did you take between each coat and how many coats?

TaylorRyan370 04-22-2013 11:48 PM

I masked it off with tape and newspaper/trash bags. I waited about 5 mins between each coat. I did 5 or so light coats. Let it dry all the way for about 45 mins... It was warm out btw. Then 3 light coats of clear. I didn't paint the backside of the calipers. You can't see them anyways.
