Putting the red JDM badges to match the red ?
I'm still trying to decide if I want them or not. I'll probably put a red pinstripe on the bottom of my car first. Plus, I don't if I want to go through all the work to put them on just yet lol

Decided to go ahead and paint my calipers red today. I figured I better do it now while they're still relatively clean and not caked with dust and rust!

Is removing the calipers needed? I was just going to leave them on and paint carefully. I have the brush not spray

It may not have to be removed but I like to do it so I have more access to tighter spots without getting paint everywhere. I will always recommend painting with a brush over spray paint. Just have patience and take your time!

here ya go

interesting enough, i have been watching some hatchback reviews and it seems the UK model has a feature called ESS(emergency stop signal), where if you were to brake abruptly or brake hard enough it causes the hazards to flash automatically
So if i just want the 3rd brake light to pulse (the one in the rear window) i just need to buy that bulb size? I've seen people do this on other cars by wire splicing etc.

there are other companies that make different sizes. our third brake light size is something that slipped my mind.

but the one you splice is from this company http://www.kahtec.com/smart_stop.htm

I know our high center mount brake light is 7440. They are sold out of this type. I'll shoot em an email and see of there is a waiting list. Id much rather replace the bulb than have to cut and splice wires.

To each his own, but really makes for the definition of a "ricer" if you are posing your CF wrap as a Seibon hood. Lol #nofakeparts

Swapped my side markers yesterday. Today I get my wrap and will work on de-chroming the exterior and such.

I have the same markers, what type of bulb are you going to use? Did you think about plasti dipping the exterior instead?
