I curbed my one of my gunmetal wheels pretty badly, so im waiting to either get it fixed or replaced. Yes...I know I need a front lip, but hopefully then next mod will be my KG/MM Race Springs.....

I do have the S2000 stickers for the calipers too, just havent put them on yet.

Corleone...where does the back sticker go?

Is there a thread for painting the calipers without removing them from the car? Also, what about the decals? I got decals from a member but got no installation directions. Are they individual letters (as in s....2...0, etc) or are they one decal that says S2000? Is there any special prep before putting the decals on?

Nicely done.

We just did two S2Ks this past weekend (Jay619 in blue, mine in red), and got some great results. Very pleased. Alot of time prepping (1hr+ per wheel with a dremel tool and hand file) yielded a nice smooth glossy finish.

Stickers are a nice touch too, with some clear coat brushed on over the top.

Lovin' the new look.

Thanks...

I did not have the time to do the dremel (or a dremel for that matter) but the finish still came out good. Next step will be final touch up in small corners, then the clearcoat over all of it!

Where did you buy your clearcoat from hockey?

I went to a few places, but ended up finding it at Autozone. They have a high temp (500 deg) clear coat that worked well. It is in an aerosol however, so I just went behind the garage and sprayed it into a cup so I could brush it on. I didn't want to just spray it since a MAJOR point of the G2 system was to avoid aerosol - and thus taping off the entire car.
