Blue calipers will stand out more....

I've thought about doing my headlights again. I'd probably do something like what ebelp did:

And I tested the blue put on a spate set of rear Brembo covers and didn't like how it looked. Maybe if there were other blue accents on the car it'd look better, but it just didnt seem to flow. I'm just going to stick with the silver with red stickers. The Brembo covers should get out on Thursday or Friday so I'll post pics of those once I get them done.


Probably a dumb question but how do you post a picture that's in someone else's thread so it's not a link to the pic?

Put it in between the [ I M G ] pic.jpg [/ I M G ] tag but without the spaces like this

1islandparadise

Or those too...lol. I like those headlights on a white TL!!

rossv1

Are you going to come to the meet on the 22nd Donnie?

mn2trance

Follow Donnie to the Taco Mac - Perimeter location since he's been there before when he had his TL-S lol.

rossv1

You coming too?

mn2trance

Yep, I should be able to make the meet on the 22nd.

I've seen that brand around before, they make awesome BBKs, but I have no personal experience with them.

And you have money for rotors and pads and install but not for the A-Spec kit?

rossv1

Haha. I was told I have no front pads anymore and my rotors are shot. Trust me, if I didn't have to have them, I wouldn't be buying them this close to Christmas.


And I'm hoping I can get the kit sometime next spring semester.

Ah damn. Yeah you might as well go ahead and get those rotors and pads if they need to be replaced. My rotors were warped to hell when I decided to get my setup. Smart move

1islandparadise

I plan on being in GA by the 21st so, there is a possiblity. If, some how I can get a pass from the wife...lol. I just got done doing a trans drain and fill and taping the M45 bumper and hood so if I do make it, I will be in that. I miss my TL-S!!!

tothe the A-Spec kit monster
everyone will have the kit one day


ross why don't you try that new vendor for brakes?

rossv1

Well I haven't bought the rotors yet. I pm'd brake motive to see if he could do anything for me on the spotted and drilled that he offers. Il be making the final decision when I get a reply from him.

rossv1

Installed pics should be up by tonight.

TegoTL

Looks good!

rossv1

Thanks. I went to take the tape off but they haven't set up yet. Hopefully they'll be good by the morning.

rossv1

Got some quick pics in my driveway this morning. I think they turned out really well and match the front Brembos pretty well.
And don't worry about the car, I know its dirty as hell.

OP how were you able to put them on the rear breaks? where did you get them from?
Looks fantastic !

rossv1

Thanks man!

I used JB Weld that I got from Lowe's to hold them on. What I did was put the cover on the caliper and see where it actually touched at and then put the JB Weld on those areas and then put the covers on. I used painters tape to hold the cover onto the caliper while the JB Weld set and left it there over night.


Here's a link to where I got them on eBay:

Looks great man! I'm in Louisiana now and talking my mom to come up to GA for the first time. We'll see because I will be in ATL on the 22nd so, I may may let the wife drive my mom up and bring the Vette for my father in law and I to cruise in.

This is how I did mine too.

Nice job, they came out great! And you put them on correctly with the nipple up, unlike some of our members lol.

And that poor curbed wheel

rossv1

Yea, that wheel was curbed when we bought the car, not my fault. Haha

Nice work, those are definitely the Brembo covers I like the most for the rear. Looking forward to seeing how they hold up since painting all the brakes will be a spring or summer project for me.

rossv1

Yea, I got these since they match the best with the front Brembos since there the smaller ones. It'd look funny having bigger brakes in the rear than I have in the front. Haha

rossv1

Thought this was a pretty cool background. And my new pads and rotors come in on Wednesday.

1islandparadise

Soooo drool....lol. Love it man!

rossv1

Thanks buddy. I leave for school in 2 weeks but we should try to get together sometime before then.

I ended up going with Brakemotive's front rotors and pads. Needless to say, I'm extremely pleased with them. They're noticeable more grabby (if that's a word) and I've already gotten compliments on how they look.

Lookin' good man!

Damn good picture (with the purple background). Love the rotors too.

rossv1

Thanks guys.

Picked up a test pipe tonight for dirt cheap today so I'm getting it put on tomorrow.
