3 more horsepower :)

It feels more like 5 hp. I went with black because I didn't want a bright color to call to much attention to small V6 brakes.

Thanks. I really like the decal, too. Needed something besides just black.

If you put it all around, shouldn't it be 4 more? And to the wheels, best price to performance ratio out there.

I've got some sitting for at least 6 months now that I still haven't put on lol.

I used the Oxgord kit, which is very similar to the G2. It's an epoxy based paint that you brush on rather than spray. Some tips:

1. Cleaning the calipers will likely take more time than you think. I used a combination of brake cleaner, wire brush, and sandpaper. After all sanding was done, I sprayed break cleaner on a rag and wiped the calipers down.

2. When using the Oxgord or G2 kits, you mix a "reactor" with the paint so you will need to paint all the calipers within a few hours. You won't be able to use the paint again the next day.

3. No need for primer. The paint applies very well to bare metal.

4. If you use a clear coat, be sure the epoxy based paint has dried for several hours. I initially sprayed clear after an hour or so and it acted like a solvent and smeared the black paint. When I waited overnight to spray on the clear the next day, it worked fine. It must have to do with spraying enamel over the epoxy based paint. Oxgord does not recommend a clear coat, but I needed it to cover the decals.

Are those little stickers readily available somewhere? I like the black too, nice job. Maybe we can see the look from a distance?

They are available on eBay. Link to the ones I bought. Several colors are available.
