I might just rebuild my calipers, but still do the same painting. And yeah, sanding off the letters and then doing a quick buffing job will look great.

Yea I redid the mazda logo without guys yelling at me this time. I did it in the privacy of my garage and it came out much better looking.

That's exactly what mine will look like. Did you just sand down the mazda logo some to get it to shine cause I'm thinking about doing that. I redid the logo again and it came out better but I might jus sand it down so it looks cleaner.

Ok here they are on the car I couldn't get any pics when the wheel was off cause the batteries in the camera died. Also ignore how dirty the car is. It's been raining like crazy out here and finally there is sun shine. Now all I need is some rims to show these things off.
