Keep the calipers how they are. Car looks stunning and with a drop it would be even better.

The car looks hot.

Leave the calipers alone. Painted calipers look cheesy.

Looks great. I still think the TA colors look great. Now just find some RAYS center caps and slap 'em in there. Good Job!

Granted, I just don't understand why everybody and their brother tries to copy the original? Can't afford it?

I'm sure for all the money some of these people put into their "custom" knockoffs they could have bought the real thing used, or came damn close.

There are at least 2 other members here with powdercoated GTs. I too prefer yours to the OP as I'm really tired of the TA scheme.

That red outline is crap.

These wheels look best only in the OEM paint.

I think it looks pretty good.... that red ring, i'd have to see in person to say if I really like it or not ....and also am I the only one who thinks red nuts look really retarded? you should keep the bolts black, def... but overall good job...

oh btw, STOP yelling and turn your CAPS off!
