I finally got time to post pictures of my Sebring and how it looks with Ricks Silver on black badges. The silverstone color looks good IMO on the sebring, because it's a slightly darker shade and it sticks out. I got my headlights cleared at the Generation 1 in anaheim, they did a great job and like everyone else, i recommend them.

I also include a picture of the crappy '02 hood badge that took so long to take off. you can see that i had to break the pins to get it off. (that little metal retainer wouldn't give - one person said he got it off with a fork on the inside.)

I like your calipers! I've seen some dull red calipers, but your red it nice and bright.

IMO you should have painted your rotors, I hate the rust!

Out of curiosity, how much did you pay to have your headlight cleared?

Lookin' good.

Yeah, i forgot to paint the rotors, but that'll take no time at all, i think i'll do that one day this week with some hi temp black paint. What do you think looks best? Flat? semigloss?

Personally, I would paint the rotors silver (both the outer edge and the center). I just purchased VHT flat silver paint - rated to 1500 degrees. You should also sand the rust off, like wanabe said. I sandblasted the rust off - that worked great.

I'm going for this look for the rotors. I think it's tim s2k's car.

that looks good. I really like the look of the black caliper too. I don't have access to a sandblaster, what would you recommend using? steel wool?

Steel wool would probably work. Do you have access to an electric sanding device? That would probably be quicker.

The tough part will be the vents on the front rotors...
