Well, if you don't have a GT4 and can't afford hammerite and stickers custom made from some guy named Mook, this might be a good option to go with...
This is my favorite mod on my celica.  First, I cleaned up the calipers and sprayed some silver engine paint on them. While they were drying, I went on my computer and using microsoft word, I printed out some block letters on a blank CD lable sticker thing. I cut them out and placed them on the calipers. I then brushed on come black caliper paint. Waited 'till the paint was semi-dry and used a razor blade to peel off the letters. I then used an ear swab tip to do some touchups. What do you think? Not bad, eh? |
