Victoria Weekend Mod Project.... Project Rio5....(yes, Kia!)

[p-o-g-i]

So my sister-in-law has been watching me mod my last few cars and is starting to show some interest as well (I'm so proud of her :chuckle).

She started off by getting the tail lights on her 2008 Kia Rio5 tinted at Auto- Links towards the end of last year (haven't taken any pictures of those yet).

Just last week, the boys at Krown Lakeshore added some red interior lighting:

So with time on our side (being the long weekend and all), I decided to paint her calipers and install her rims:

nice work, good job on the masking off of the rotors when u sprayed the calipers, musta taken a good amount of time to do.

Thanks guys for all the comments. Like some other jobs, the prep work takes more of the time.... masking the area correctly took about 20 minutes, each individual coat took a minute (3 coats + 1 coat of clear)... 8-10 mintues of wait time between each coat to dry.

BTW, yes Glen... I'll do your calipers next weekend :)
