I decided that I didnt want any bumps on my front calipers. So I sanded them down to a smooth look

I used a belt sander, then used a hand sander to do the rest of the curves and shaping. 80 grit sand paper does the trick, but be sure to use something other than wood sandpaper. Doesnt last long as all, but it was free:P

I got my calipers back and found one of them was phu*ked up. So I took it back to get stripped and re-PC'd.

Im not sure if I want to go the route of Lexus. I was thinking of something else.

I will have an Altezza trunk badge on shortly. Im not going with the Altezza center caps. But if I do go with Altezza decal on the calipers, then maybe I should go with Altezza center caps. And no, my car is not an Altezza import
But once the front clip is in my price range, then bam. RHD

Lets just say, it only took me 4hrs to sand them down. 24hrs to powdercoat(not by me).

But for me to get it where it is now, 6 months And its not on my car yet, because my pads are at least 30% left, if not less. So then I will put them on the car

Good job on that DIY!
