i wouldn't do silver, its too close to pewter and will just look like a bad attempt at a pewter on my part from a distance when installed LOL. Mirror red calipers and black brackets would be killer.

I have a set of cores here I can do and send if you don't want your car down at all and would prefer to send yours back as cores. PM me if you want to discuss, be glad to help

We need to get you a better camera Sean. What are you currently using?

Maybe you should ask Laurie for one for your birthday.

You probably have a insuffient lighting source. I would recommend using a flood light, for $25 you can get a Craftsman 1000 Watt flood light, invest in that and a table to take pictures.
