I'd suggest painting the calipers black, or at least retouch up the beat up oem paint that's fading/chipping.

I've used the G2 system in the past with great success several times. REquires you to remove your calipers and dry them overnight.

That was on my list of things to do this year. Unfortunately I never got around to it. Another issue I had with this mod is I didn't want to shell out for new caliper bolts that require replacing once taken off.

Where'd you hear this from? Maybe it's recommended somewhere, but I've never had issues.

No, now that I look at it with my PC, it's the reflection of the gap between light panels. At first it looked like something else... very clean LS.

I'm all about choosing different wheel types. I see these worked well for you I have the same color scheme and wasn't sure about darker rims or lighter rims. I think im rolling with the dark look!
