Curious, those that bought on Ebay, which seller did you buy from?

Thanks for sharing B! Looks great. What color red did you choose?

Did you match the color of the car and the calipers?

I have a Rhodium Silver GTS with red calipers and black top. Debating on colors but think I will go with RS and Red. Just don't know what color red would match the calipers best. 1st world problems eh!

I'll see if I can find the vendor. They list the colors separately on each ad, I believe. But I simply ordered regular red and yellow. Not sure you can get any closer of a match. It looks really nice. I also have a Rhodium car but never tried to get a match. I'm not sure you will as these are plastic color through and through, not painted.

I think if you want a RS color match you have to go OEM $$.

Thanks for looking. Looks like it will be red and yellow as I'm not spending $100+ on plastic just to have RS. Several on RL have complained about the OEM sides that have chipped paint. Good to hear yours are plastic color through and through.

I got them on Amazon. The sellers name is Chrome Supply. They come from China direct, and amazingly fast.

I assume the gloss carbon grey is close to Agate. Does anyone have it?

I painted my blades rhodium silver with touchup paint. They turned out really nice. 2 coats of primer, 4 coats of rhodium and 4 coats of clear.
