Got my calipers painted this week with white TRD decals as well as had them clearcoated.

Here are some pics:

Nice. You painted it black or grey?

I need that bug/stone deflector. I got so many paint chips from rocks.

very nice! I'll be getting mine done in the next few months. Since i'm doing the brakes next week or the week after!

He was going to charge me extra to make the "TRD" template...so now he can't cause you already had it done!

Thanks - they are very much black - probably just the lighting that makes them have a greyish look.

I had them done at Simply Tire in Toronto - you go there too? If not, I highly recommend them to anyone. The owner, Allen, and his team are awesome!

Nice job. These pics have convinced me to go with black calipers at the least.

Looks nice. My shop did not charge anything for just painting them black while also getting new tires.

Btw, check the air pressure of your front left tire - looks low.

***CharmCityES*** · 05-03-2009, 02:00 PM

looks sharp! i like!
your car looks very clean as well...all you need is a drop to set it off!

Thanks - Simply Tire gives a $50 discount on the calipers if done with wheels/tires.

And thanks for the reminder to check my tire pressure - three of four tires were actually low.

No, but you told me to go there before, and i emailed asking how much etc etc and he said he would have to charge extra to make up a new template...so that put me off going.

But i will be going eventually.

My left front is low too....i think i ran over a broken bottle..didn't realize til i got out of my car
