Default Sunday afternoon project
The 98 was due for some new rotors and a nice cleaning since I purchased this car.

Pretty dirty as you can tell


With the help of some degreaser/alum brighter acid


New Ultra premium napa rotors and pads along with some caliper paint


Lastly cleaned the paint off the raised corvette letters on the calipers with a dremel
