Hey Guys,
Love this forum by the way, been quietly reading and learning from all the discussions.
Did some small touch up... still working on a couple of other things but thought I should contribute back a little . They just bring a smile to my face .

Out of curiosity, how much and how many parts could be kept?

Hey Flutie,
Sorry I forgot to mention this was really cosmetic. splash of heat resistant paint + reflective RS sticker. (I chose the black badge as I thought the contrast on the red would look nicer).
I just did update to my stock brakes. I had it done on the rear brakes but I did not get to what the others in the forum here have done with the cover.

Looks great. Mine was a $500 red powder coat option. You at least have a bunch of beer money left over.

Looks great.

I've painted F/R calipers on my Subaru (since sold) in RED using high temperature caliper paint. With car driven in NE winter, paint did not last long as paint started to flake off. Maybe you'll have better success.
