Does anyone know a local shop in Austin where I could get my brake calipers painted for a reasonable prices? Thanks

(I still won't own a Corvette because silver haired old men drive them like pussies)

I'm in the same boat... Got an 05 mustang gt at 16, a 2002 mustang gt at 18 and traded that for the FR-S... I'll forever be in crisis. I enjoy driving too much.

People like that should be fined for driving a trailer open with hazards in the back.

Why not do it yourself? Throw it on jackstands, newspaper the wheel well and surrounding fender, spray some hi-temp paint. Did it for the rear drums on my old Corolla and it's held up just fine over the years.

Agreed! I called the cops and gave his details, but they then told me I had to mail in a form ( with a stamp and everything, how quaint ) to lodge a police report that insurance could use. But I'm hoping they at least managed to find him and fine ( or just stop him from causing more damage ) him.

Meanwhile insurance tells me that even if they find the guy because I made the claim via my insurance I'm still out the deductable which is strangely almost the exact same price as just getting a new windshield myself.

I've got a pair of them too. You can't go wrong with Tom's. Get them! I love the red ones over clear, and I have the non DOT ones so they don't have that reflector in the side.

I struggled for a while deciding on red, clear, or smoked.
But yeah, Tom's are nice. Now I just need a matching reverse light or whatever it's called on the diffuser.

I got my third brake light with the upgraded LED from F n' A Automotive on the forums here. Kit #2, very nice. They have several options to pick from, but kit #2 was the brake light function and fog light.
