Sorry it's out of focus, I took it on my phone.



Much better than the faded-to-pink color of the originals IMO.

looks super clean man

Nice, I think the yellow makes the calipers stand out. I have to repaint mine as well. I think when I do mine, I might put the decals on and clear over them so they are protected from rock and early fading.

Where do you go to get your tires mounted and balanced? Around here it costs $40 to have tires removed, reinstalled, and balanced, for all four.
