Like the scoop!!! If you dont mind sharing, did you mount it yourself? If so, easy or not?

Nice wheels too.

Hi,
How difd you do these calipers?

Looks pretty shinny & even surface. The surface of mine looks rouigh, did you have to grind them? What type of paint did you used? What it done in situ, or did you have to remove them?

scoop was an easy install, the Roush template makes it very easy, getting the insulation clips off was the hardest part and the thought of drilling holes in the hood but I rather have a scoop I can feel better about not blowing of with the 2 sided tape.

The caliper paint came from eastwood, has a small brush to put it on with, I spent 3 hours and still had a couple of oooops but very happy with results, it is a very smoth finish

@ hamidlmt here you go, man I'm so loving the look (window louvers off for screw painting), my car is almost complete, supercharger an stripes and its DONE! almost sad but my car has spent more time in the air than a Las Vegas ******* legs. time for the enjoyment. you can almost see my new driving lights


@sheetz83- stood there almost an hour after template was in place debating because there is no going back, but the look is all worth it

I also have the roush louvers. how are you going to put the screws back in with out scratching them all up. I too would like to do mine but i dont know how i would go about it. I thought it was going to be a good thing when i read that they could be removed it needed, but you know i never will. It realy is not that dirty back there lol

are you going to paint inside the hole once you reinstall them? my blue tuch up paint has so much matalic in it. It is hard to brush it on and make it look right. i may pull them out and use an air brush.

I could paint them with the ellen wrench in the hole then install them mask the screw hole real well and hit them with the air brush well there on the car.

well see what happens
