For Those Who Can Appreciate....
....Some Fresh Brakes.

Changed all the pads and front rotors. Also painted the calipers and rust-prone areas of all the rotors. Also freshened up my muffler pipes and stuff with some flat black paint but its a lil' dirty now.

When I was changing my brakes, I noticed the front passenger side CV boot was torn to shit. Alot of grease every where and it was in my rims and slinged all around the wheel well; got that taken care of as well. Rotors/pads/paint were bought at Autozone.

Nice.

Just gave me an idea for my stock exhaust! Thanks!

What color did you paint the calipers? The color looks like AM light grey color.

Exhaust looks very nice. Did you leave the tips chrome or are they black too?

Thanks everyone. Paint on calipers is a glossy black. The paint on the pipes are a flat black.

I didn't think of sanding the pipes and mufflers down, but I should of. If you look closely, you can see on the muffler that I painted over the parts where the paint was chipping off before, it would of looked smoother if I sanded it down.

The muffler tips are still chrome but I need ONE new OEM tip. If any one has just one for sale, PM me.

The car still looks the same It's Clutch lol, looks just like yours except not so low. Did you get your front lip yet?
