Thanks for the compliments! I have a few more cosmetic mods planned. Gray tint for the taillights, take apart the headlights (i have done this in the past on S2000s) then paint mirrored area and plastidip just the inside headlight turn signals for a slight matte finish or possibly the whole inner headlight housing (sort of like the s2000s matte black inner headlights), also want to do a black grille surround and black pearl emblems. I am undecided on whether or not to repaint the calipers red because the wheels aren't black, they are somewhere in between bronze and gun metal so I think the red won't look right with the wheels but would look awesome with the black paint... Opinions are welcome.

Pic of the wheel for reference on the caliper:


How I want to do the front but paint the inside of the headlights:

Looking good!

I have used vinyl inside of headlights so you have that option. Make a template that fits then cut one for each headlight. Saves on the time for masking and it gives a no run finish. Ebay has matte black vinyl.

The calipers would look good in black, gunmetal or Brembo red. They're just good looking calipers and look sweet in all colors.

I would like to see your calipers in red, that would really look good.

These are the best I can do for ya for now. It's the ISS forged track exhaust, there are a lot of threads about it.
