What is this, a mod that involves some dirt and grime?



You stiff upper lipped bastards better take notice, it's a woman that got dirt under her nails painting her calipers, on an RX-8 even!



Nice work, looks great.

I like em. I may just put some protective coating on mine...I just got them beadblasted and they look just like that, but I want something to protect them since the material is pretty porous. It atleast appears to be that way.
