Thanks John! I think it's cursed though... It's going in for a paint job for the 3rd time since I bought it - I got attacked by some boulders on the way to work a few weeks ago. Oh well, I'll just take advantage and have my new rear lip painted while I'm at it...

BTW, when you gonna join this club, huh?

Those are some clean-looking calipers, Javy! How many Q-tips did you go through to get that level of shine?

LOL might as well detail the calipers if I have the wheels off, right?
