Projects completed this weekend

I had a little extra time this weekend so I installed a set of Sport Brakes D/S rotors, Hawk Ceramic Pads and a C5 hood decal I got from RPI Designs .

Prior to installing the Hawk Ceramic Pads you couldn't drive 20 miles without the wheels being covered with black brake dust. The photo of the rotor is after driving 60 miles in stop & go traffic. almost zero dust. By the way, I don't race so the mods are purely cosmetic. What do you think?

Wow,,, that's impressive. Nice job ! Little things can make such a difference. The black paint does make it look like new. Was it special heat resistant paint ?

Thanks!

Yes, I did paint the Hood Liner with black heat resistant paint prior to installing the decal. I used the left over paint I bought to do the calipers a few months ago.
