Joined the caliper crew
Painted my wheels back to a factory color, and wanted to spice things up so I painted the calipers a very bright reddish/orange.

Before:



After:


Then i had factory size vinyl made up and put those on today



Excuse the lack of a photoshoot spot, just a quick pic from the driveway. If you paint your calipers and need the AMG logo back, I know a guy who can help out.

Still on airmatic. Been this low for a couple years now, ride isnt terribly harsh, but in sport 2 its much firmer. If Im on a hot date with a new chick, I do raise it up with the button for a little more comfort.

Something along the lines of midnight purple would look awesome.
