OK here they are. Please excuse the fuzziness on the left side, my lens is scratched.

I decided go for black color on the caliper. Thanks for the pictures. Very nice indeed. But too bad the license plate drilled on the front bumper. You should tint the windows too. It will be so nice.

Black was a good choice, unless you could colour match ultramarine! I prefer the symmetrical look of the centre mount plate. Gonna get a tint next week. So, your turn to post pics or it didn't happen!

Yeah but it can be mounted to the grill. That's what my dealer did after I told them to not drill into the bumper under any circumstance.

Will be painting calipers with a few frs in AZ this weekend. I'm wanting to do red with white TRD letters. Are thsee decals heat resistant or are they under a clear coat? I'm almost thinking spray white, let it dry, use decals to mask off, brush on on red g2 caliper paint, let dry , remove stickers, clear vht caliper paint. Any suggestions?

The TRD would be cool.

Get the heat resistant decals from Ebay for ~ $10. Paint and clearcoat the calipers. Then apply the decals.

that looks pretty good, I use to offer this service but it's a pretty hard job and a steal for $90 (jacking up, removing and hand torquing wheels back on)

I use to use the G2 kit available at next mod.

That's what I got from Kelvin at nextmod. Great product from G2. Heat up to 1k with no issue. But I'm too busy and no time to do it yet. Hope to try to get it done this week.
