Default Hey guys brake preview what do you think?

Waiting on the new SS lines and O-ring pistons but thought I would set it up to get an idea how it will look. I think it will look :cool: when I get the 17" TTII's and 255\45\17's.
What do you think so far.

Looks great. Did you spray or brush the paint on? It looks sprayed. Is it heat paint?

Did you have fun with the VBP install? I enjoyed it. A little scary dropping the dif and wondering if those 4 bolts would come out of the crossmember. That sway bar will settle in once the car is back on the ground.

:cheers:

I like it. I painted mine silver. When I get my car painted I will have to change colors. I may go red on mine.

Thanks for the comments guys. I actually painted the calipers in three stages since I couldn't find any high temp purple. I started with a base of high temp blue spray paint. Then I sprayed some Krylon purple. Then I sealed it with a couple of coats of high temp clear. This may work just have to see but hey I am a long way from driving it so atleast for now it looks :cheers: with a black car.

Thanks
Wade
