Making slight changes to the look, went from gold to blue calipers. Also put on some Audi style LEDs below headlights. ImageImageImageImage

Next is to re paint the grill and lip as road rash is taking a toll. I will need to repaint the whole bumper within 2 years.

Nice. You should black out the trim inside the headlights. Just a thought.

Wow it looks very clean, what did you cover the rotors with?

I used brown paper when painting. The top hat portion I used a rust reformer which turns the rust a flat black after the chemical reaction is done.
