That is a APR performance splitter.

Decals came in. Hopefully the paint will get here this week. I'll be doing 1 side of the car at a time, calipers and rotor hubs gloss black.

nice. i have some from TJ Reese and Reese Custom Graphics that say Coyote. just need to get the things painted.

Couldn't figure out what size the aftermarket lug nuts were. Broke an adapter and scratched the wheel trying to break a lug loose. So far a waste of $90 on paint kits and a fucked up wheel.

OMG...that sucks [MENTION=24889]Labradog[/MENTION]...sorry for that bad luck.

Broke out the big tools: 1/2 to 3/4 in adapter to the wrench/breaking bar. Dealer torqued those front lugs to well over 150 ft/lbs. The rears were much easier to loosen. Prep has stopped for a family event but paint will go on this afternoon

This is probably the harshest lighting these will ever be seen in. we'll see how they look tomorrow after curing overnight.

Looking good

If that's the G2 kit, you'll be very please with how it smooths itself out overnight during curing. My orange calipers are still looking awesome!

 

[Labradog]

Yep it's the G2. I think I'm actually going to skip the decals and go with the clean black look.

I really need to paint mine at some point. Some good looking jobs in here.

Here is mine . . . just did them this weekend and they came out great. Decided to go Green since it would work really well with the copper wheels.

[MENTION=21753]ecumkh[/MENTION] is this the G2 using a preval sprayer?

[MENTION=24624]HISSMAN[/MENTION] did you paint the rear calipers too? Also, is that the regular yellow g2 sells or some custom one?
