What??? Oem is nowhere near 8k... 8k is that super blue ricer color you see on the roads, 10k is such a dark blue going towards purple that you won't be even able to see anything. 6k is for the white with a tint of blue without losing too much light and without looking like your car is worth 3k

Non-HID headlights aren't designed to be used with these HID kits stupid ricers are putting in their cars, they just scatter light everywhere.
Joking, but they do do a good job.

I did ten coats per rim, ten coats on the grill (leavening the Emblem Chrome).
The flat, Matted black look freaking great on my G. The red oem Calipers just pop! When I get my money right I'm gonna get some wilwood calipers
Bro u know u can just get caliper covers??

So u won't have to be switching out embarrassing blown out bulbs every month. The factory hid r blue enough at night.

What ever stock k is Irrelevant. I was told 12k bulbs are the dark blue/ purple. The 10k I have are blue with a very light green tint.. To be truthful I need to have my headlight Lenses cleaned. It may be what is phucking with the color I'm seeing

Caliper covers don't help me stop at 130, js. I may be mistaking but I think wilwoods are 6 piston caliper. I'm sure there is a cheaper brand that was a 6 piston setup, I haven't really looking into brake calipers

Did that link I posted work?

Everyone has very different opinions on what sounds good to them, that's why asking for advice on exhaust beyond what makes the most power or what has good build quality doesn't really make any sense. You have to listen to clips and hear them in person to see what you like.

I never understood why people paint the stock calipers red. Why bring attention to our small stock brakes?

I would personally go with silver or black if I was going to bother painting stock calipers, but then again I'm not really interested in bothering with them anyway.
