Tried my hand at painting some calipers with G2 paint. Turned out pretty ok.
These are XAT's LS460 kit. Also redoing the stock rears with a powerstop upgrade, stainless lines and matching color calipers, Pics once that's wrapped up.

Thank you, that was the color I have just decided to go with and to see them painted that color is great plus the exact caliper. I believe that they will look good with my green car. Thanks for posting.

Just finished up installing the rears this morning, LOVE the look of all of this.
Soon as my rear hoses come in i will bleed it all with DOT4 MOTUL.

Working on a cool little interior project, making this insert to replace the ashtray with a couple of rotary switches to control boost/traction control.
Current design revision (v5)
This was the first print i roughed up based on the ash tray dimensions, added 2mm to each side and had to enlarge the holes a bit.

Latest revision, had to get some angles carved out as the bottom part of the pocket is less wide.
Doing the text as a test, if it looks good at 0.2mm and i can paint fill it i might build labels into the top.
My last print test, too wide to fit in all the way but the switches fit.

This was version 10, very close fitment:

Finished up my brakes today, threw a couple of the CCW's on to test fit
slight concern about the rear brake lines making contact with the wheels but i'll keep an eye on it.
Love this look, i'm looking for new lug nuts that match better. Any suggestions?
The calipers have maybe 1/16" to 1/8" of an inch of clearance to the inner barrel.

Car looks so tough as always - love the brake upgrade!! I'm also digging the hidden *****. Great idea on designing something to fill that useless space. Can't wait to see you out and at it this year!

Still working on this insert, realized there's notches all around the inside of the pocket. I'll probably try and add a small layer at the very top when I'm done to flush it.
wrapped up the car mostly last night, went for a ride and it spins 315 r888r's lol. It was cold out and these are at 38psi so not surprised.

Pretty stoked on how this is turning out. I need to build out the car side of the harness from the ecu,
I'd like to also add my clutch switch wiring for LC and flat shift, and possibly tap into the stock CC switch to use as rolling antilag, or find a place to tuck a switch for it.
