p.s. wheels actually going on tonite.
i gotta roll my guards a little more. :thumbsup:
edit: wheels are on :) ill photo u tomorrow!
can safely say that the front, 19x8.5 +25 with a 215/35r19 will fit no problems :)
however, 19x9.5 +30 with a 225/35 will require u to do some work to the fenders and bumper :) imho 9.5 is a bit wide for our fd's in 19" maybe 17 or 18 tho :thumbsup:
Sweet! what paint did you use? VHT?
^ i used "3M" Caliper Paint from Super Cheap Auto... they didn't stock anything else really... was looking for Septone Caliper Paint but it's all the same shiz.
what camera you got?
i awnna paint my brakes black, any recommended paint brands? / which ones to steer clear of?
Took a quick look here to compare to yours. Results look similar, but instead, this one has used a 'brake caliper paint kit'
I'd also recommend sanding them down like a b*tch so they're smooth and shiny too, that'll look nice. Won't help as well with heat dispersion, but that's probably minimal anyway

Hey Mate, I have the 3M paint as well. Planning to do mine on a warm day. How many coats did you do? And how did you clean the calipers?Quote:

We did 3 cars (12 calipers) with one (1) can. 2 cars with 3 coats and 1 car with 2 coats =D
blah blah blah... will do a DIY write up tonite or tomz hehe =)
