Wow that came out nice! Definitely need to look at getting mine done somewhere when I see how they can look. Wish I were closer to Raul (well for many reasons in that my car would not be in storage right now as well )!
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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Oh no doubt! We have 9 of us from the MN G's cruising down to NC and FL for a week and a half. I personally have done the trip from WI to Vegas and San Diego before, ...I think it'd be a he//a lot more fun w/ a group of modified G's 4sho!

Its too bad everyone is so spread throughout the states. Having all the rides together would be GAMEOVER. Be like a big frat party lol!

No doubt about that Was in Cali this past summer and chances are I will be going back next year to visit my brother in San Diego. If I do I'll have to hit you up so I can check out your ride in person
