But Raul, you just spray them on the car?! What is involved to negate any chance of overspray? I would be terrified of that. Obviously it saves time but man... I don't think I could ever chance it... And does that mean the backside is not completely sprayed? Maybe I am missing something.

What type of drilled/slotted rotors are those OP? Looks great!
Thanks! The rotors are Stoptech. What color are you thinking of doing yours in, if you get the calipers done?

I am really open as of now... My car is stored but I am most likely going to have the spokes of my wheels painted a light graphite color and I would love a color to accent it when I get it done. I love your choice though and your wheels are gorgeous too. I have the same rotors and I am just really worried about the rust as mine almost brand new had the start of it. Can't imagine how they will look out of storage. I may go black with white decals... Tough to say. Doesn't seem like I would try anything too crazy so red is definitely an option. Could go really extreme with a lime green but I doubt I could be the type to commit to something like that. Haha sorry for the long response that basically says... I am not sure yet!

I didnt ask him about the interior trim. Although it will be something i tackle in the future.

I think whats next is the IPL rear. It looked so fresh on G-Lovers ride...that i think i have to get it now.
I sure did. the IPL rear would work well and show it off nicely

Those SSR's are just gorgeous and the new calipers accent them nicely! We need full shots of the car and headlights should definitely be next after the bumper.

Mine rusted like 2 weeks after having them seriously! I dont think theres any way of keeping that off, unless the car is never driven :\ I think black with white decals would be clean too...but all the guys were telling me that no one would notice the calipers that way. The silver gets lost behind the rim, so the black probably would too. I dont think you can ever go wrong with red, as its pretty classic. Initially i was thinking purple, to match my lugs, but then i chickened out. haha

Im calling Brad tomorrow to see if the IPL rear is in stock. Hopefully the car will get shot sooner than later, so i can finally ditch these iphone pics...and do the car justice.

Looks fantastic.

Where did you order the decals and in what size for the front and rear?

I've been on the fence about doing this for quite a while now, and debating between the same two colors. I really like the shade of red you went with, it doesn't stick out like a sore thumb and still keeps it clean looking. I might go with black lettering vs the white though....

Looks great man!!!! Props to Raul!!!!

Trust me when i say.....i was set on black. I had been debating all weekend over it. I actually still wouldnt mind doing black in the future. I think your G has the same menacing look as mine...and black would look sick on it! I say go black.....so i can see what it wouldve looked like.

Too bad youre not out here so Raul could hook you up!

I really like the idea of black with red lettering....i think it would be subtle but very VERy clean.

I know...wtf! Maybe in 2 years when us MN G guys will plan a roady out there like we are in May down to ZdayZ and Florida to visit Diego & the SoFlo guys for a week.
