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?
