Washed up the SS33 and repainted mah calipers, stealth! FTW

It was beautiful today, so I figured I'd wash up my baby a bit.

Then I saw my oil life meter, ran to the parts store to pick up some Royal Purple and what not,,, as I walked away from my car I noticed my calipers were flaking, and remembered I hated the color I painted them. Now they are stealth mode.

After all that I ran out of time and didn't even get to clay bar, or even wax like I planned. Oh well, I took some pix anyway

I have more pics from when I installed them in my gallery,, I don't think I have any from the backside of the hood. I can get some tomorrow when it's light out if I remember,,, PM me about it tomorrow

But I highly recommend the Aerocatch latches,,, I love em. Installed myself, and was a bit scary at first, but was a piece of cake with a good drill and dremmel.

Here's as good as I can get ya for now.

I took a zoom in from this pic



I cut away as little mat'l as possible, but you need clearance to get the nuts on the attaching hardware.



Lemme know if you have any other questions

I just saw that they now make a CF version,,, I probably woulda gone that route if they were available when I bought mine. But I still think they look 10X better than any other pin on the market

Went from what you have to bronze spokes (which looked amazing but they flaked like no other) to all grey mettalic and finally to all black after i sanded em down with a real rough grit and didn't feel like going through the pain of polishing the lips again.
