Looks great! Judging by how well you did with the last car... I'm sure this one will turn out just as nice.

Hehe. Thanks Steven!!!!! I appreciate it!!!

Thanks! I used Duplicolor caliper paint/silver color.

You just remove all the hardwares, pads, get loose brake line and remove 2caliper bolts(I think they are either 17mm or 19mm). Sorry short memory.. That's it. It's not hard at all, but you have to bleed after you reinstall them. If you just paint them on knuckle, you don't have to bleed later.


great update !!!

car is looking awesome !!!

Thanks man!!!


Car looks awesome! Great work!

Dude, pull back and take another shot of the silver calipers on the silver car. I don't recall seeing silver calipers color-matched to the car itself.

Great update. Did you just do the front side markers? I would like to go that route too, but didn't know if they would match the oem rear type s markers.

Also, maybe Steven is talking about the VW?

^ Thanks dude! Yeah i installed only front sidemarkers. I want white look from front sidemarker to the front end. Rears for red. That's the look i want. I already have switchback. I still have to buy white DRL kit. For match front and rear, you won't notice from far away. You can see difference when you get closer. I think it doesn't look bad. Cause both are smoked.

And what VW? Sorry, i got lost... Lol

This one:


And I agree, I would only want the red rear sidemarkers. I wish USR would just sell the fronts for us Type-S guys who already have smoked rear markers, especially since the USR rears aren't even plug and play for us.

cool man sounds good. i would use some 3m clear emblem adhesive if you have any laying around, for the domed decalz. just put a small amount on the car and then put the decals on. with this cold weather, you need a good bond on those.

hopefully i'll cya at the great falls meet in january then.

I like the color that the Brembos turned out to be.


Also, when you reply to someone, don't take their name out of their quote-just leave it in.

Oh and i actually didn't take their name out. I just didn't use tool. I just copied and pasted them. That's why you don't see username. I used tool this time. I just saw updated date on my title. I appreciate it!

Ohhh, I see what you're talking about now. Hey, let me help make your life a LOT easier....in the lower right hand corner of each post, the middle icon is a multi-quote button. It allows you to respond to more than one person in a single reply. Plus, not cutting and pasting either.

Give it a try-it's great!
