i would but i dont have another car right now and the down time required waiting for a shop to powdercoat them would seem like forever. I can afford to be out of comission for a weekend to prep and paint and allow for drying and be back in business monday. Powdercoating is obviously my preferred option lol! unless you know someone in northern va that can do it for me quick and for cheap! haha

rebuilding the caliper isnt too bad. Ive done it before on the fiancees g35. Parts are almost nothing compared to the cost of a new one. especially on the front brembos

 

there have been several members that have painted the brembos.
using high heat temp. paint and clear coat.
the brembo's turn out awesome!


Side note, when I bled my brembos, some of the brake fluid got onto the caliper.
it ate away at my paint!

 

Well from last weeks meet...I will post more in my own thread but I wanted to make it official into the UA7 Squad (or at least maybe get an even number lol):

 

asm ftw

 

Thanks!

Thanks! Found a few more keepers.

Any feedback is much appreciated. C&C please, still have lots to learn.

 

those are nasty!!! whats the offset on the aspecs? 18x8 or is it 18x8.5?

 

Cars do not fly, they sit flat and level on the road.
Next time, keep the road level.

Remember the rule of 3rds.
and you might need to back up, as some of the pictures were to close.

 

Thanks! I was trying to get a different perspective of the car. I did get one photo of his car leveled to the ground.

 

its mainly just getting out there and shooting. Practice.
look at other peoples pictures. see what you like about them, see what you dont like about them.

I suspect you're using the AUTO settings.
nice cam, btw. Canon EOS 7D.

 

new roof spoiler ! KBP ftw!!

 

Nice!

 

Where are the flight attendants in these pics...?

 

Thanks! I recently upgraded from T2i, it was too small and didn't feel good in the hands even with a grip.

I only shoot in M unless its something I'm not uploading online. I was shooting in M and mainly using center focusing point to recompose. I used my 15-85mm yesterday, left the 50mm 1.4 in the car.

 

ya'll need to add a requirement to the UA7 Crew.
pictures of ladies with your UA7.

 

...in United Airlines attire. Yes.



But, seriously...nice pics.

 

LOL, i missed the joke.
Didnt know you were still running it.
thought you were commenting on my "car is not a plane" comment.

 

for slickooze:

 

Nice photos! What are you shooting with?

 

Nikon D7000
and i slightly edit them with Light Room3.

 

Maybe there's hope for you yet! Good advice, sir.

 

Thanks man. They are 19x8 Aura RDX wheels..i believe they are 45 offset. 15mm spaces in the front and 20mm in the back

 

they look good man. im not a fan at all of the hellaflush look. yours is just right!

 

ohhh! so those were pictures of Mikes car.
i get it now.

 

Nice rims man!

 

Yea Gary takes really great pics..but since the wheels are new to my car he was using that as his focal point.

Either way i like the pics

 

The roof spoiler looks sweet!. Nice addition to your ride!

 

random question... does everyone with the black and silver interior like it?

 

YES better than all black!

 

I like mine

Here is another pic of the wheels



All my other pics pretty much look like gary's (slickooz).

 

Well you are in luck cause the next # is 104. Welcome Shadow!

 

so i got my lighted door sills in the mail today and just got done installing them. Everything was fine until i got to the front drive sill. It doesnt light up all the way. Im extremely happy with them and were well worth the money. Its the small things that really make the car stand out from the rest. Hopefully supercomputers will get back to me soon. It sucks that it has to be the one that i will see all the time that doesnt work

ill post pictues up here in a little bit!

 

^Nice i bet they look good!. waiting on your pics

Last pic of the wheels

 

you didnt test!?!
when I helped a buddy install them, we tested all 4 before we started on the install.

we tested using the battery.



Mike and Greg! FUCKING AWESOME PICTUREEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

^Thanks Justin. I enjoy your pics too!

 

Chrome wheels look good!

 

I briefly tested them just to make sure they all lit up. Didnt inspect them overly close. and it was bright in the garage. now that its dark, its easier to tell.

 

Thanks LIQUID!

 

Sure did, thanks for the heads up.



Hell yes Roof spoiler looks good btw but sorry to hear about the sills.

Mike, those wheels look dope homie! The pix are sweet too. Any chance you'll bring the front down just a hair? How's it ride?

 

I guess 104 is it sounds good to me lol

 

so went to the krispy kreme meet last night in burbank, ca and i would have to say almost 2,000 cars showed up!!! freaking straight up crazy ridiculous!! took us like 20 minutes to get into one of the parking lots
