Well I just finished today. I used a kit to do it (same one from autowerks.com) where you basically use a brush to paint them. Took me about 6 hours but they turned out fantastic I think. I wanted and still might get them powder coated, but I thought I'd try this. Cost me about 16 bucks in materials and 6 hours. Ignore the dirty ass car, dent in the fender and the sort of mis-matched colored m3 bumper. I'm prepping it for paint.

Well right now, I have a little bottle of hellrot paint from the dealership for me to paint over chips. I've had it for a while, but never used it, cost me about $25!!! Hmm if only I could take that bottle to like Home Depot or somewhere and get them to get me some paint for cheap, that will be able to with stand the temperatures...

Check out Boge gas shocks, they are a lot less harsh. Also instead of spending all the money on a camber kit, just get a performance allignment done for like 100.00. It will be less expensive and a good shop can do anything you want.
Great paint job though. Kind of makes me want to do mine.

Yeah I know about the alignment thing, but my friend went through a set of tires that had a "performance" alignment done in less then 6k miles on his lowered car.

Ohhh red calipers on a red car, sex!
I think you misunderstood what I ment. You can take your car to a performance allignment shop and have the negative camber removed. You can also have the tow (spelling) adjusted w/o purchasing camber correction arms.
Maybe painted calipers will be a weekend project for me, I need one now that I spent all my money.
Perhaps I will find a DIY posted this week.

im not trying to talk myself up at all but it seems like JR, you have stock suspension, do you know if its the m sport suspension, because mine seems to ride lower than most 328's. that guy back at werkz "chr 123" or something like got the m3 bumper and new wheels and his car looked high too. i pulled up some stuff about my car and it said m sport suspension so im guessing thats why mine is lower than most...if you know off the top of your head what your car came w/ that would be sweet. thanks a lot!!! great job on painting...and for all the h7 diy stuff. i couldnt finish 1 houseing today because i had a grinding and filing bit. it sux but it just takes longer
