Great looking car! Congrats. Any thoughts on maybe adding a berger panel?

Not to nit-pick, but after all of the hard work doing paint correction, fixing body issues, ect, why on earth didn't you take the calipers off to paint them? It's just 3 bolts and you'd get a much more quality and longer lasting result.

Thanks for the compliments I'm actually working on a berger panel now lol! I had thought about taking the caliper off and doing the caliper bracket a different color but decide to keep everything orange so I just decided to keep it on the car while I was painting it.

looks good man. I'm tinting the corners, tails, and rear side markers right now. The corners are a PITA to get out... we have nearly twin cars!

The Whistler mod would be a great upgrade and go with the theme of the car! Also, painting the grille body color or partial body color and some back (Like 9Ball's old HOSS) would look amazing!

I want some whistler style headlights but I think I'm going to keep the grille black. Nineballs grille was too much orange for me.

Took a couple pics today with the phone so they are not the best quality!



Added the berger panel and orange letter. The letters do no match good but I have some coming from Brent Franker that should be a lot closer to Hugger Orange
