This is true on 20 inch wheels. The 18 and 19 inch packages have same sized fronts and rears.

Yep. Very reasonably priced. I'm planning on doing this.

I'm either going to order green or color matched Synergy Green, but I don't know how well the green will match the Synergy. Maybe I can get them to send me a color sample.

Yeah, you can't rotate the tires on an RS. The fronts are smaller, plus the tires are directional, you can't reverse them by rotating side to side either.

Where can I get the G2 Caliper Kit. I definitely want this mod.

You are wrong about this though.....the stock tires are NOT directional, so if you had a mind too, you could switch them from side to side.....not that he would do you any good, but you could.

very nice, great job. The important part in all of this is take your time taping and you will have no issues at all.

http://www.g2usa.com/ , You can order it right from their website. Either submit your color code for your car for the custom caliper paint kit for 90+ bux, or go with a standard color for $42.... I went with the G2 Orange and it looks great.... could've got the color code matching IOM, but I saw posts where people showed the standard orange matching well, so I went with that.

Completed the painting of my calipers today. Here are the photos while the wheels are off. I will take some more photos tomorrow after I put the wheels back on and drive it back out of the garage.

I wouldn't try it.... You definitely want to spray your engine cover, this paint comes in a can with a brush.....
Plus you need the adhesion promoter, cleaner, primer, basecoat, clearcoat to do the cover.... go to paintscratch.com and you can order the kit. I think it cost me like 89 bux, but I did the engine cover, fuse box cover, and taillight covers in the back.
Check out the "covers" link in my signature.

Also you have to mix an activator in with the paint when doing the calipers, so it only lasts a few hours and any left over paint is no longer good.
