Woo-hoo! All the mods like nice!

What kind of paint? Where did you get it? Thanks.

Now I'm curious. Why will someone drive their car all day long all over a city, get in front of hundreds of cars during the course of a day, exposing their license plate to EVERYONE who can see, yet blank it out on the internet?

Can't anyone on the street do the same thing one fears might happen if they don't blank it out?

She says she used Rustoleum "Sunrise Red" Oil base paint! Bought it at Wal-Mart for about $6.00. She says better buy a good brush!

How about a view of side to see how the painted calipers look with your Torch Red body. I've got a TR coupe and may be doing the same...

To whom? It only takes one. Aren't you more fearful of street people who've got nothing to lose? Sorry, this thread belongs elsewhere.

rgd2424, Thanks for the paint tips from your wife. I didn't know rustoleum had hi-temp paint.

How long should it take for a 1st timer to install the screens in front?

Pass on to your wife that she did a great job on the calipers. All the mods sure make a difference in the car's looks. Congrats.

No need for high temp paint...unless you are autocrossing? (never done it, but I would imagine that would be the worst case instance)
