Thank you cyberLS for catching that.

Thank you Shinebrightx I got the kit for Christmas and finally pulled the trigger. I hated the way they faded and oxidized. I am thinking of contacting emblem pros to have them make me emblems to put on them. They are supposed to get smoother as they dry so I will see tomorrow when I uncover the tires at 2pm. (24 hour curing time). It is supposed to rain tonight so I put plastic garbage bags over the tires

I had no idea they had a kit (I used cheap caliper paint at Walmart) but it does look a lot better than what it was! and adding emblems would make it pop I think

Thanks everyone. It was really easy to use. Took longer to clean them off then painting. I am guessing as it was only like 65 degrees here in NJ I should have waited longer then the 15 mins that was suggested between coats. I put 3 coats on. I like how they turned out so that really is all that matters. Not sure what the emblem will say either SS or brembo. I am however leaning towards yellow lettering as I think that will really stand out. Thank you nvydvr for your service.

Nice job. I used the G2 kit for my Camaro. I did it the first time in orange. Then I saw they had IOM, so I did it again with the new color.

Then I found out they have a lifetime warranty against chipping. Took a couple photos of my chips sent them an email along with the receipt and photos. Few days later new kit showed up in the mail.

While detailing my Camaro the other day I found another chip. Sent them another email and yesterday the new kit showed up. I will do some paint work again in another month or so.

Got to love a company that stands behind their product.

I so cant wait to uncover them and see what they look like. I did not know that if they chip I get a new kit will keep my eyes on them.
