Put a hood stripe on to see if I like it. I want to put the stealth grill on and leave the chrome rings. Maybe, maybe not. Can’t decide.

I’d say it Looks pretty good.

Blacked out accents would make it stand out even more.

Painted the calipers red this weekend. Was quite a pain, literally! Rolling and contorting on a cement floor all weekend was not enjoyable! Haha would have been SO much nicer to remove the calipers and do it on a work bench (not to mention a much better job!) , but I'm not mechanically inclined enough to do it myself. As it is the wife is asking "well did you torque them properly, I don't want a wheel falling off" haha, could only imagine how nervous she'd be if I took all the brakes off (insurance policy paid up . . . check! Haha)! Don't have any nice clean sunny pics since it was - 20C, -28C with the wind chill this weekend! And my inlaws garage has florescent lights which suck! Anyway, here are some pictures of the process,

Get some masking on to try and keep it clean (unsuccessfully)

Before the masking was the cleaner / degreaser, then the metal prep (kind of an etching)

Coat of rust preventative

Looks really sharp! I always figured you’d need to disassemble and spray paint so I haven’t fooled with it.... I don’t know why I didn’t think about using a brush. I may do this now.

Installed the weathertech floor liners in all 3 rows, also installed the weathertech splash guards front and rear. Very easy to install and fit like factory. I added an extra push pin on the inside for extra strength. Only had to drill one hole on each one, super simple.

When I installed my Weathertech flaps I drilled a hole towards the inside through the fender liner. Then installed stainless fender washers and fasteners to stop them from flopping around. Much more secure now.
