So I used a brush on kit by G2 that I ordered online for $37. Ceramic paint up to 950 degrees. Easy application after setup and prep, just a half days work. Killed two birds with a tire rotation too. I know some people say that your frontin' for doing this, but whatever, looks 10x better and I don't have $2500 for a Brembo or Wilwood setup.....:)

LOOKS GREAT, I like it a lot.

How do you like those BILSTEINS you are running?

I am up for some new shocks and am thinking about getting the BILSTEINS.

I like 'em, though I guess I don't have much experience with anything else. I had Max from here do my set up because he does 'em all the time and this is what he found to work the best. Now if you are getting Bilsteins without the drop springs it'll prob ride a lot better than mine just cuz of more travel.:shrug:

Search engine works!

I always paint my calipers when I have a wheel off for brake job. I like Black though. Anything is better than rust, but I do think bright red stock brakes is a little odd.
