Ok i know its not much, but i just did my first so call MOD. I painted my calipers Red Barcelona (Toyota Code 3R3). Ohh, and added a decal....i know i know, but i just couldnt help it. LOL. Let mw know what you think

love the color. was it hard to paint them? i really want to do something like that in the coming spring.

macko_macko 10-18-2011 03:44 PM

Actually it was pretty simple, just bought a 1/16 can of 3R3 toyota paint, with a can of clear spray for heat. Also a 1" paint brush. I just removed the wheels, and started painting really carefull with a paint brush, just 2 hands of paint per caliper. After that i sprayed each with the clear paint, 2 hands also.

They look great, they really pop out now. Even my wife love them, and she is fed up with me talking about the car....lol

Looks good.

Painting the calipers is on my list for when this start to warm up again in the spring.

OK so i need everyone opinion on this. I was going to buy new rims, but a friend suggested to paint mine gloss black. The thing is that im not entirely sure, cause I live in Puerto Rico so the roads here aint the racing type anyways. i was going to Buy 17 inch rims with 215/45 tires. Right now i have stock 16" allow rims. So what you think, buy new or paint stock?

ThisorThatxD 10-19-2011 03:20 PM

my vote is new, and thats simply because i dont think the black would work on your white xd lol.

macko_macko 10-20-2011 03:59 PM

Actually, black is the color Im aiming for. New or Painting the old one, what better color for my white car than black...... I want my car white black, and Red details. :)

Red accents look great on white.

I went with black wheels on my super white also. But I was looking for a decent pair of bronze wheels also... but black won out... this time.

Hey Guys,

So, i havent post anything on a while. I have done a couple of chages.
1)I installed the mudguards
2)Tint my taillights
3)Tint my spoiler and gas lid black matte.
4)Installed led red strips in the interior of the car

I just bought the TRD lowering springs. I should be getting them next week. So'll post more pics once i installed them.

I'll attach some pics.
