I used PlastiDip - I have used it in the past with good results.

Car looks really good, where did you get the Carbon fiber center console from? It looks OEM.

It is OEM. I got the cranberry red/Carbon fiber interior. Obviously the keyless go button is aftermarket (Amazon $7.00 find) but everything else is factory.

I really want to paint/plastidip my calipers red but I've never done anything like it. Easy? I'm sure I can do it myself but I don't have the time or tools/resources to. I assume a reputable shop could do it fairly quick and easy, right?

I would not PlastiDip calipers. I am not sure of the hear of PlastiDip - and it is more of a matt color. I would have them powder coated or painted.

I went to a professional shop and had them painted with the original Brembo Red color. It cost $350.00 for all four and the logos and it took 8 hours all together. I dropped off the car at 9 a.m. and picked it up at 5 pm

If there is ever a plug+play unit - sure. But right now, I am not going to spend 1400.00 on it - I would rather have a tune

Nice spoiler, seems like your tail lights are different from mine. Mine doesn't have that single line lighting up.

Nice man. I just bought an 18’ in white. It’s bone stock. Where’d you get the black tail pipes and diffuser from?
