I was bored and decided to paint my calipers, rear axle and put on a chrome diff cover. They only thing I do not like about the calipers is I did not put paint in the areas where it could have made reassembly hard. But once the wheel is on you can not see those anyhow....

Some asked how hard it is to install the rear wheel well linings. It is VERY easy. Do not even have to lift or take the tire off. 7 screws total, all shown below. Holes are already on your truck.

A different color may have been a little more flattering. I fore see many cleanings due to color choice.

 

I actaully bought the paint for my rear calipers on my Viper. FOr some reason DC did a nice job on the fronts, but did not do anything with the rear calipers on a GEN I Viper. Had to match the front black. It is not just any paint. Bought it from Eastwood. Very good stuff. Put it on a Firebird (red) a few years back, held up very well and easy to clean.

 

Why didn't you drill that hole for the rear mud flap? I know that you will have to drill a 3rd hole in the middle of the other two because I "bit the bullet" and did mine.
Come-on it won't hurt.[:@][8D]

 

where did you get those linings and how much?
