Default Freshly out the oven...

I finally was able to snap a few iPhone pics of my F. Last week I had my friends at platinum motorsport in LA paint my calipers yellow w/brembo decals, roof and grill surround in matte gray, and exhaust tips in matte ceramic black. All feedback and comments are welcome. So far I'm loving how the car turned out. In the day or so since I picked it up from the shop I've received many compliments at stop lights and constant starring from people as I'm stopped. I know I might get criticized for painting my roof dark as it makes the car look like a scion but pictures don't do this car enough justice and frankly I think it looks good and is very unique.

Obby: I don't know what size stickers they used but the rears are slightly smaller than the fronts. Yes they cleared over the decals. They guarantee they won't chip and can use any kind of brake cleaner or degreaser.

iH8RICERZ - Thanks for the kind words..

Nice! I've always liked yellow calipers with the black "Brembo" on it. It just fits.

The paint on the roof makes it look like vinyl wrap, but I like it! Looks great overall.

I like it a lot! I also like the roof as it sets it apart. Not sure how the flat will be to take care of over time but the car looks great! Love the calipers as I know someone else that has them done like that.....

How much did they charge to paint your calipers?
