Took more pics today. These show the painted calipers. I mixed the paint myself to match the car. Enjoy!

You did a nice job on those calipers -- Hopefully they hold up well. What kinda paint did you use?

2007Grabber

I used Duplicolor ceramic engine paint that is rated over 600 degrees. I have heard a few say that it won't hold up but so far, so good. I don't see me driving it hard enough to get the calipers over 600. If it does peel or flake, I'll try a different approach. Maybe the G2 system. Here's a pic of the color match. With it in the jar, it acts like a clearcoat for the paint. Wish there was a clear that I could put on the calipers!

you should puta front chin spoiler, and side scoops on your grabber. that would give it the whole retro look.

heres the link for the chin spoiler http://www.classicdesignconcepts.com...splay/650.html


it takes about 10 minutes to install, no drilling required. and you can buy it unpainted or painted (black)

heres the best looking chin spoiler, from fangperformance.com

do you guys think that would look bad painted silver w/black racing stripes, and my black rocker skirts? cause then I'd have to buy the GT take off rocker skirts.

I have a fang front spoiler waiting for paint and me to make my mind up if I want it flat black or painted to match the car and carry the stripes down it. I really don't like the side scoops on any s197.

paint it grabber orange, w/ the stripes down it, that would look sick.

please post more pics, I love your car.

Thanks for the compliments Dennis. I did a couple mods today to change the appearance of the GO. Removed the rocker panel stripes and added a 1/4" pinstripe to my shelby stripes.
