Question....Why do you paint the calipers? I imagine it's for looks....
Why would you want to look at a caliper? I don't get it.
Every time you look at the wheel, you see this big hunk of unpainted metal. Now, it's not unpainted. Even painting them black is an improvement over stock. Besides, I think I gained at least 5 HP...

The directions on the box (DupliColor ceramic) said to wait two hours before re-assembly and 24 hours before driving. However, the paint is dry to the touch in about 15-20 minutes. I just let mine sit over night - no issues.

Thanks for all the feedback. As soon as I get some good pictures of the whole car from the side, I'll post...

Heres mine from the side. Theresa it just adds a nice color accent that looks good.

Nope.......Don't get it......and don't like it.
To each his own though...that's what makes the world go round.

Wingman, Can you go to the v6 board...or whatever you call it and check my question
over there. I have been wondering about this, seeing it has happened a few times. I haven't got
an answer yet.

I have a question......When you are at a stop and you stomp on it...
The tires squeal...it takes off....while I still have it floored it seems to jerk kinda backwards,
loose rpm's for a second and then regains it. Sometimes
chirping the tires. All while the car is still floored. Why does it do that?
Not sure what you are describing but it might just feel like a slight hesitation as its shifting.

It's kinda hard to describe. When you get on it and try to spin the tires, it does and then all
of a sudden it kinda jerks and looses rpm's and then it picks back up and goes.
