lol..Get rid of the dark wheels...the orange Calipers are OK....But when it comes to really showing off your car, it's one of those things that's kind of going out of style(painting the calipers is getting old, tired, and tried).....But I guess you can still get away with it on the casual side and not trying to win any real "show contest"...But definetly get rid of the factory black wheels...those black wheels reminds me of what a Police Charger with black wheels will look like........And my M.O. is anything looking like a police car is A BAD THING....If you going to go with black wheels, they need to be custom aftermarket wheels!!!!...

Oh MY GOD.. I actually agree with Jay Jay..

I only painted my wheels black to hold me off til' I can afford aftermarket wheels. $10 vs. $2,000.... It will do for now.... maybe get my rims around the end of this year.

I think that they are quite effective mself! Why not permanently save a couple of grand and keep them? :)

Calipers came out great.
Just outta curiosity, where did you get the orange caliper paint?
I went to auto-zone to see if they had orange and they didnt so I did a search and found it on ebay and bought it for $35.
It should be here today and I am gonna try and tackle the job this sunday.
Hopeully the orange will be a close enough match with my engine cover.
Now I gotta get a decal that either says HEMI or 300C 5.7L to match my license plate.
Any idea of where to get the decals.

Thanks a bunch.
Im gonna order the decals today, but a little to late for the paint.

To get Orange caliper paint, I just mixed the red and yellow caliper paint that is sold everywhere (local checkers/Napa). I mixed a little red to the yellow slowly until I was satisfied.

Do the decals just go on the front calipers? I like the curved ones that follow the shape of the front calipers.

I have not seen pic's of rear calipers with decals.
