Spray paint, it was a Lowe's exclusive brand/color (forget brand). Paint and primer mixed. The finish turned out super well. I hated it at first but its slowing growing on me!

So i have decided to keep the car a while longer so i can afford to tour more often and i will be purchasing coilovers early next year and dropping the car on its nuts. I am stoked.

Looking good alex. I like the wheels. Riding slammed will be interesting. Remember adjustable camber arms for the rear.

just noticed you painted over your calipers from blue to black. What product did you use? I was going to be ordering up some black from g2 today probably.

Just some old spray paint i had laying around! It looked too funny with total opposite blues right next to each other. But i highly recommend the G2 kit

Well this sets me back, slid into a giant curb going like 5mph and now the tire rubs against the liner. ;(

I did the same thing yesterday myself man. Had to have the car towed. Thankfully my friend with AAA was with me and has the AAA coverage that will provide free towing up to 100 miles.
