    Default I am a ricer...inspired by MiataMoto.







    In the last picture, it's outdated. I've also now painted the inner brake rotors black.

    DupliColor disagrees:

    The Caliper Paint features Ceramic Resins for maximum heat dissipation.
    Of course that could be bullshit - but my car will probably never see anything more than autocross, so it will probably never know the difference.

    I will never understand why you kids want to draw attention to your puny little cast iron sliding calipers. If you had big aluminum jobs with 4 or even 6 pistons, well that I could understand. I still wouldn't repaint them red but I can understand bragging rights.

    The top one was at the back of some business in Denton's square.

    The bottom one was a run down, crappy mini storage place 5 minutes from there.
