I was able to finally get around to painting my calipers:

The camera makes the blue much brighter - it really is quite a bit darker in person...

While the wheels were off, I took the opportunity to scrub the backsides (a MUCH easier job since the Rotex Gold pads went on) and put a coat of wax on each.

Since it was already up in the air, located and fixed an annoying squeak that's been lingering for a while - a vacuum line clamp was rubbing against a bracket underneath the cover that is just in front of the passenger side rear wheel and differential.

Washed, clay barred, Zaino Z-6'd and vacuumed my car. Broke down and washed the wife's Passat (didn't put quite as much effort into that one ).

All in all, it was great to be able to spend the day working on the Crossfire. Somehow, it doesn't seem like work at all!
