Painted Calipers and Megan Exhaust/ER Charge Pipe Video

JCat27 · 05-19-2014, 12:57 PM

Had some free time Sunday and took some pics and shot a video. I wanted to see what the car looked/sounded like going down the road. Not the best video by any means, but you can see/hear it. Shot w a combo of my GoPro Hero 3+ and Old Sony Camera (720).

The 535 is running a Burger Intake, JB4, ER Charge Pipe and Megan Mufflers.

Painted the calipers blue and I'm pretty happy with the way they turned out. I was 50/50 on doing this b/c I am usually not a fan of painted brakes. Usually leave them along or go BBK. Mine were painted by the previous owner (yellow) and then covered up by silver, so you could see the yellow coming through where it chipped. So i had to do something, it was driving me nuts...

Let me know what you think, thanks!

Thanks!

Dont even get me started on the wheel topic...Ordered my ForgeStar F14's March 1st and I'm still waiting on them. I thought people were kidding with the 3 month wait, guess thats all so true...

Got another set of wheels being delivered this week, so Ill end up with 2 sets...

Hope to have pics up Friday.

Looks great. Wish I could slam my car! What wheels are you going with for now?

S65B40 · 05-19-2014, 02:55 PM

Nicely done so far...can't wait to see the car with F14's on.

If i was going to keep these wheels, yea spacers for sure. But with 2 sets coming with correct offsets, not going to waste the money on them for the stock wheels

Post some pics when you get your new wheels. It took me about 8 weeks to get my F14s. Very pleased with them.

Here are mine in Matte Black:

What kind of paint did you use to paint your calipers?

Will do! 8 weeks seems like Next Day Air compared to my wait. We are going on week 13

I'm glad you like them, i know i will... This wait is killing me.

Looked at your link, they look good! Seeing yours make me a little more impatient.

I used the VHT paint, so far they are holding up pretty good.

Any more info on your setup? Suspension? Wheel size and offset along with tire size? Thanks! Could not find a thread on it.

Looking really good, wheels will definitely bring it all together!

What spoiler is that? I really like it. Also like the way you had it painted

Agreed,

Yeah that spoiler came out great, I have got to find the 3D style spoiler as I am very partial to the style, I have actually been looking for one. I would really prefer a non carbon fiber and paint matching version but it doesn't seem to exist

I actually have a 3D style front lip (non m sport) being painted and getting installed this week.

Be nice to get the matching spoiler

Either way congrats again on the build
