nice wheels, needs a drop!

kind of a waste of SH-AWD if you add big rims and weight to it. slows it down, looses performance.

also painting stock red calipers are ok, but played out. they only look good if you have BBK.

Rich, I also think they'll look even better with a drop.

Yes, plan on getting coilovers, and had the calipers black at first. So might change back. Also have a buddy that paints so he's going to blackout grill and piece on trunk.

agree with calipers... red calipers only look good if its a BBK, or your car is fully decked out...

i dont like the wheels either.. but its personal taste...i never, ever like wheels with black lips... just my

Should have painted the calibers black instead! I'm new to this forum (posting) but from what I read I feel as if I'm the only one concerned with not voiding warranty?

^ Warrany, what's that?

Alot of us on this site mod our cars to our liking knowing that warranty is a possible issue down the road. As far as paint on brake calipers, I wouldn't think anyone would have to be too concerned with this. Plus what's the point of modding if you are worried about warranty all the time!!!



I've had several items replaced under warranty and that's having a "few" mods that "could" affect it. No issues from the dealer here!

I've been considering getting a 5yr/120k extension and am very wary of eligibility. =|
