You said you used an Epoxy to do the calipers? Was that the G2 stuff or another brand?

That was a C32 in his pictures.

Nice build Vu!

Thanks man!

Yes, its the G2 kit. It works marvelous!

I was thinking about using it on my STS. Since there aren't many of them out there, core calipers will cost a fortune and having the car down for two weeks when I got my wheel powder coated was a slight pain.

*edit* Are those just aftermarket mirror covers on oem mirrors?

Also, for painting your wheels, was that rattle can or did you have a paint system? Looks really good.

Looks like your project is coming along real well bro.

MrVu

I believe these are aftermarket covers, they came with the car from a dealership. They were chrome....

The wheels were painted using a 2011 Ashtin Martin OEM tungsten silver paint that was professionally mixed at a shop. Then we used a spray gun hooked up to a compressor in my garage.


Thanks man! Many more projects to go, but I am currently tackling all of the preventative maintenance items first!

It looked real nice painted...the covers make it look like the updated w204's mirrors.

Very nice, thats exactly what i want to do with my original 18" rims. The past owner curbed it hard and crack one of my rear rims. I have been debating buying a single rim and redoing all 4. The best price i can find is almost $500 a rim. Sticking with the 19" for now.

those side view mirrors are a huge improvement (not the chrome part bit of course). I hav them in black and it is a much better look instead of that chrome boring strip that comes stock. nice exterior mods so far.
