Cool, as time gets closer, we'll figure something out...ya maybe you guys down there can meet at a central place that wouldn't be too far for you all.

On another topic...I'm going to get the brakemotive rotors and figure while the rotors are off, paint the calipers.

So, what color should I paint the calipers for our awesome colored car? Paint match? Or what?

Can never go wrong with red, or maybe go with Black to match the rest of the accents.

Camera I ordered came in late today so I missed good lighting shots and settled for a few in a parking garage...Looking forward to getting decent with a DSLR but I'm certainly spoiled by the ease of use with my Pixel.

So of you South Florida guys...you all in the South East (Dade, Broward, Palm Beach counties)?

Also, I'm not sure if it was seen in my previous post, I have Brakemotive Rotors on the way...what color should I paint the ugly silver/grey calipers?

Personally I would go with race red. That color would just pop. But then again just imagine the brake dust on them. Same reason why I went with black for my PP2 wheels and not silver. ;)

Change your brake pads to the EBC Red Stuffs. A definite upgrade and much less brake dust. Black wheels and the stock brake pads are a PITA. Calipers would look good either LB or red.

Spoiler already in house.. Still flipping the coin on the stripes..
Thoughts?

Omega has silver stripes and there's a guy on the Mustang subreddit, I think COREY_ something that has white stripes too.

I don't know if I'd mix white stripes with a black spoiler though..

edit » found him, check his profile for plenty of pics.

My honest opinion is white stripes w/ the Black Roush spoiler doesn't work on LB. I'd go black stripes w/ white or red pin striping on each side. Do a google search..

Yup, all of you guys were thinking what I was thinking..
If I had went with the body color spoiler then I think it would make more sense.

I'm not a fan of the black stripes on our color either.
My girl says no stripes, so I guess no stripes it is then.. :)

If you want some nice pics of LB with black stripes with the red pin striping, check this build thread. Could just be his photography skills, but pics look great.
