    yeah, pepboys has it for like $15, i was actually supposed to paint my calipers this weekend before the rain kinda put a crimp on my plans, got done painting the front grill to black and engine cover to blue to go with the color of my car, looks sweet, as soon as i'm done painting my stuff, i'll post pics, it's amazing how far a couple of spray cans and sand paper can go, hehehe

    @FLOW: Nice, good to know thx.

    @ spunx021: Here's a place I found a while ago, but haven't ordered yet. Debating on whether or not I want to paint my bumper: LINK

    Now if they had a carbon fiber looking vinyl, that would be awesome.

    Look up a local Sign shop. Google "sign shop (city where you live)". Thats where I bought the flat black vinyl for my car. It should be cheaper than buying online.

    Very time consuming. The longer it takes the better it will come out!

    no kink, m putting vinyl on the front end of the car, not the whole front end thoug, coz I already painted the chrome part, black, so that area I wanna put black vinyl on make it look like the front end of the evo X, poser, i know i am, hehehe, if it doesn't rain this weekend, i'll be painting my calipers red
