I'm still iffy... Supposed to have a neighborhood party to go to, so I'm trying to work things out. It kind of depends on the weather. At least I'll know where to find you guys.

Very nicely done!! Car looks great!

How far away from your mom do you keep your car now?

Can't imagine anyone telling me they hit my car... TWICE!

Thank you and I now the a spot in the garage after she hit it for the second time. You cant really get mad at your mom though for hitting your car. I mean I know she is good for getting it fixed.

Color looks good, but the stickers look awful. The front one is uneven and the rear is too big for the caliper.

I like the size of the rear caliper so I guess to each his own. I will agree that front one is a little off but the angle of the camera shot makes it look a lot worse than it actually is.

How did you use the USB on the calipers? Was it high temp paint?
