Congrats! I am looking to do that when I do my brakes next month. Going to go for the shiny silver look, since everyone else does red.

I painted mine yellow. I found it to be the best combination with Laser Blue. Only problem is that brake dust is easily visible on yellow.

I'm doing mine black.....I feel like my stock ES with 3 working doors shouldn't have any color but black....I'm looking forward to seeing something besides rust

Red for the win. Although I did not do all of it red. The outer portion is black.
