looking great did you have to repaint some parts of the car?
how did you get the orange off whatever it was painted or stick on?

also I liked the targa white better and dont like the painted halo

as for calipers Id do red but a dark red not the torch orangy red.
A dark red looks fantastic on white thats how I had it with polished lettering after it dries

Thanks guys for all your great comments. The front bumper, hood, roof, halo, trunk lid, and rear bumper all had to be sanded down and repainted.. And as for the halo, i'm not painting it just wrapping it in vinyl in case i don't like it..
