Love the tail lights... but seriously... what the hell is up with all the black wheels nowadays? Different strokes for different folks... but I don't get it. Especially painting/plasti-dipping an already marginal looking wheel.

Now you need to black out the tail light bezels. The chrome by itself is garish

Looks good! I thought I would never do the TL bezels but I did and wow! I like some chrome. Do the TL bezels and put the same color vinyl on the yellow of the bowtie front also and leave the chrome surround just my .02.

how hard is it to paint the calipers mine are dull gray/silver color and I would love to make them red which would pop against the silver rims of the car and the black paint. is there any tips or step by step tips you can give a novice like me?

Looks great OP! Love the red calipers with the red stripes, it all comes together nicely. Are you planning on getting and SS or Brembo stickers for the calipers? I painted mine red as well and am considering adding either black or white high-heat stickers.

Red calipers on black mustangs look great, I've always painted my calipers. It's super easy, most kits have a caliper cleaner included - that's the most important part, make sure the caliper is SPOTLESS, no dust, no dirt, use toothbrushes to get into the tough to reach spots and use a LOT of the caliper cleaner. After that, I just do 3 fairly thin but even coats (allowing to dry between coats) and let it dry 24 hours before driving. Makes such a difference in my opinion.
