Yeah i ended up doing it.. I did it a while back but just didn't get around to uploading the pictures.

I am going to be using the same color for the brake calipers but i am going to do it right and just get the G2 paint.. custom it's about $114 shipped. Color matched.

Hey Jose,


Yeah i clean the engine bay every time i clean the car.. I use Plain Water and sometime i use degreaser to remove the hard OIL stains.. The more often you clean the engine the easier the cleaning get's.
