Default My first Mod *Updated wheel pics

I know a lot of you feel this is a pointless to do and what's the point of showing off a stock caliper. I did it just to clean up the car a bit. I painted all 4 black (semi-gloss) and put the yellow s2000 emblem on the front 2.

Total Cost- $10.00 for the s2000 decals
$4.00 for the spray paint. Dupli-Color Engine Enamel Semi Gloss Black DE1635


I sprayed the spray paint in a paper bowl and used a paintbrush to apply the paint to the caliper.

Took me about 2 hours to do all 4. But I spent a lot of time cleaning each rim while the tire was off.

Sorry for the bad quality pics

***** For those interested in the caliper stickers

Go to:
http://www.vinzdecals.com/createcaliper.html

Scroll down where you see 10 font choices

In the right column its the 3rd font down

After you type in S2000 and preview ... There is a color chart at the top to view the diff colors. Incase you might want glitter or dragon scales

Took about 3 days for them to arrive.













^^^ Sorry for the pic being blurry but you can get an idea


For $14.00 I thought it was a clean mod.

My next mod will be a drop

I like that you painted them black w/ yellow letters rather than vice versa. It's much cleaner this way.

the black makes the calipers fade away so the eye doesn't "see" them.
