I ordered mine a while back just didnt have time to apply it on my car,went with the racing satin black to give it a nice clean look,and hopefully can do the rotors also by eliminating that ugly gray.Z   http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000B6DG4U/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The calipers not being coated was one of my biggest pet peeves about what is supposed to be Ford's flagship sedan....so I had to take care of it myself and I couldn't be happier with the results.  No one, at least no one I have seen, has done what I did on my SHO....at least not yet. I think red calipers are just so overdone and kind of look tacky and yellow looks tacky and ricey for me.  Black isn't bad but with my PP wheels they'd be invisible. I wanted something that had a little pop but also was tasteful and understated.  I saw a new Aventador in a similar color and loved the way the caliper color looked so I coated mine in a similar color.....
Looks really good! Definitely hadn't seen a SHO with calipers like that.

On a side note,  non PP come with those wheels as well, FYI.  :D

Bad enough you PP guys get all performance upgrades.  At least let us non PP guys look the part,  lol.
