Yes heat them up with a hair dryer, Than work some dental floss behind the emblem.Thanks, I’ll give it a try!
Thank you Sir. Took most of the day. Still debating on installing these gloss black decals after the paint cures. They might look better if they were curved with the contour of the caliper castings.Looks great @Familyman20![]()
Nice job. Is it a red or orange color?
Thanks guys. Theres about 3-4 coats on here. These calipers took a lot for the paint to finally stick and show through. May just have been the pearl paint too not being a solid color. Also the caliper castings were super rough, paint did not lie evenly so it took more work. Im used to using this paint on Brembo calipers but for me, one kit was plenty of paint to get it done. Just make sure all your prep work is done before you start mixing the paint.Absolutely beautiful @Familyman20! Great job. How many coats? Looks so good with the black wheels.
Posts some photos of that too if you don’t mind sharing.Thanks guys. Theres about 3-4 coats on here. These calipers took a lot for the paint to finally stick and show through.

Forgot to mention I also sprayed the muffler with high heat gloss black spray paint while it was up on jack stands. Couldn't stand seeing that giant silver can under the car so now it blends in with the rest of the undercarriage and you only see the chrome tips.![]()

How do you like that bumper guard? Was it an aftermarket add on?Excuse the filthy car.Its barely noticeable which was the point, now just the tips will show. Took 30sec

It was factory ordered, and honestly if I would've known that we were gonna get this cargo mat that hangs over the rear bumper to protect it, I would've passed on it for our order. Its so slim I could see it working sometimes, but I'm sure you could still scuff the rear bumper if you're not careful. I had the stroller in mind when we ordered it.How do you like that bumper guard? Was it an aftermarket add on?
