Looks good! I was thinking of doing the same thing to match my molten pearl paint.

Thanks, I though about Lambo green, but decided on the orange coming in on the new GS F trying to make it look as if came like that from the factory.

I was thinking red, brembro red i guess, on my ultra white / CF. Or better yet if I could get a carbon fiber finish, that would be impressive, but i think it's not likely. The black is too understated for my taste.

Looks fantastic. Love the addition of a bold color in small areas like this. Really stands out nicely. Well done!

How much did they charge for it? Was it paint and clear or powdercoat?

Looks Great, did you do them or did you have them done? I'm Definitely going to do mine but haven't decided IF i should do it or just have them done & about how much did they charge you if somebody else did them. I've seen the paint on Amazon, also did they/you take them off to paint them & did you/them use spray paint or the brush? Thanks

Default lol

you guys are having so much fun, driving your cars. I can't wait to fix my wire issue because i hate this down time. I hope when i get this turbo it doesn't take me long to install. I know when my kit comes in that i'm going to be stuck for a few days waiting on the fresh new paint. anyways nice rides fellas.
