What have you done to your Ecoboosted vehicle today?

I actually had some free time and painted the calipers satin racing black to get rid of the ugly gray oem finish,first i started with some caliper cleaner and then used a meduim grade wire brush before applying the paint to make sure no dirt or rust was present,then applied the paint with a nice light coat to start with,the dry time was fairly quick and later applied a quick second coat of the ceramic satin black paint.

Looks very nice Z. That's going to be my next mod as soon as I get some  time off.  I'm debating between red and black.

Great work, Z! :thumb:  One more thing to add to your wash & wax routine now :D

Red works splendidly as well, glock!

Black looks good.  I just did G2 paint kit in gloss black on mine.
 
I agree with you 100%, not to mention the fact that it's much much cheaper, but a bit more work demanding, which is not that bad at all.

I found a set of 2013+ 20 inch wheels with barely used Michelin MXM4s for a steal on craigslist.  I thought the stock 20inch PP wheels were a bit bright for Kona Blue so I am digging this combo.

My wife stole my car while I was sleeping yesterday and got the SHO tinted. No more fish bowl look!

20% all around

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

my only gripe with being so dark is the "auto-dimming" mirrors get almost a little too dark.  Especially when i'm trying to park my car somewhere not very well-lit.

Upgrade all lighting to HID or LED.  Take care of that little issue :D

It's just with my surroundings, I can still see anything lit up by my headlights fine or see other headlights. But for example when I'm parking... its a little too dark...
