Hmmm... That might be too much for the setup right now unless I go like bronze wheels or something... Iunno

J put up a pic of your previous orange/copper look so he can see its potential...def my next color choice once i get over the teal haha. my only issue is that i'd have to try to paint my project mu lugs from teal to orange as well which is the only reason why i haven't switched colors yet

it was called tangerine ballsdeep. Pretty nice, man!
it's just VHT burnt copper engine enamel, man...pretty simple application, just don't lay it on too thick, follow can instructions.
yeah, I loved the look...after going to other colors I really wondered why I had changed them.
I love my white now...but I may go copper eventually...not to be a typical whore, even though I am one...just for an idea...pretty classy looking IMO

that orange was such an amazing look. I agree, the red is too much. I have red stock calipers non bbk and it drives me nuts lol. Ill be switching to RL calipers with a white diamond powedercoat.
Your car looks sweet too man, love the wheels, very aggressive

That white looks like an off white, more towards gray. But pretty nice though. How does it do with the rock chips and dirtiness?
I just cruised up and down PCH (Pacific Coast Highway) here in sunny California and I can tell you these Akebonos bite pretty well and I have 80% less dust compare to my old pads. Such a game changer.

Meh...maybe one day, but I wanted something a little more toned down. If I redo them at some point, it would be the burnt copper...if i had kept the amber in the headlights I would have done it for sure.
#178
my thoughts exactly if I redo my brakes, I'd love to paint mine to match the Amber :wink:

Good morning guys and gals! It's been awhile! Here's a little update what I have done so far...
Angle shot =)
Frontal shot =)
Breaking records standing still
Upgraded rear sway bar to Progress.
Beefy
Some b*itch did a hit and run on my rear bumper. Left a blank note to fool the people that probably saw him or her doing...
Got the bumper repainted.
Knock sensor fell apart.
The crazy cats went in.
It hailed in SoCal!
Custom turbo going in... Lol!

How much was the bumper repaint cost? Someone did a hit and run on my back bumper a few months ago and it spider webbed the paint in the back but I just left it. Did your bumper sides get pushed out at all? I had to epoxy mine back in

It's probably one of the best mod for the buck. Huge improvement.
Mine didn't come out. It costed me $200 dollars to repaint the whole bumper again. My buddy owns a body shop.
Haha, what's left now? Hondata and tune?! Lol, going to be expensive. I'll hold off on that for awhile...
