I was contemplating CGM, RJT, and ABM...then I heard about ABM going away and it was no contest on which color. I was even panicked that I didn't know what color to select if my order didn't get picked up in time. I finally decided on CGM because of the blue flecks in the metallic. Was also gonna do white rallys with a blue pinstripe, but then my ABM got picked up.

I'm getting my windows tinted Friday. I can't wait!! Should also be getting emblems put on finally. I'm off all weekend so I've finally got a few days off in a row to prep them and install them. I'll get pics ASAP after the mods!!

(I just hope Hydro blue looks atleast half as good as ABM) All of us in the ABM family hope it doesn't. we like to stand out

[QUOTE=SummoneR;1465757]Looks good, did you have a shop paint the calipers? or did you do it yourself? If so with what paint?
Thanks,
I used the G2 caliper paint. I gave them the color code and they matched it and then I did it myself in my garage.

Do abm and put sim spears on them! Or paint the brembo with sim or the other way around!

I had thought about read to match the SS logo's, but I think I want something not so bold, something to blend in with the ABM or silver hood spears more. BUt there is not much red so it might look pretty good.

i did that on our engine cover for the chevrolet letters. it looks pretty cool and since there wasnt much it really set it off. i was gonna paint them flat black but decided the red to match the ss inserts!

did you do the paint job yourself

tightchevelle69 · 02-10-2010, 10:22 PM

yeah, painted it all by myself! its not 100% perfect (ie:the run in the clear right off the corner of the fuse box....tryin to get in that area where the oil cap goes is tricky!), but considering its only the second thing ive ever painted with a spray gun....its not too shabby!
