Default Before and after

was having a little bother with the brakes so while they were off the car I decided to have them refinished/powder coated in purple chrome

before(very dirty)



calipers in purple chrome





Also had coilovers redone in same color .They look more purple in person will try and get a better shot in different lighting



Also a good time to have a good clean in the wheel well area.Just need to put it all back together and get car re aligned after lowering it.
