  • Painted my calipers, watcha ya think

    It took me a bit of getting used to them. They are growning on me slowly. Wow it was an all day event. I painted the small drum between the wheel and rim cause I really got sick of looking at the rust.



    Sorry the calipers don't show well in the low light [img]graemlins/dunce.gif[/img] I'll try taking the pics again, and replace these pics soon.

          Looks good! YOu need those little decals that say Firebird. And you should get the side bagdes that say Firebird to be the same color as your calipers! That would look awesome!

                    Thanks for the compliments guys [img]smile.gif[/img] The Red calipers do turn heads. We'll worth the effort. Now I just need to lower the car and I'll be :cool: :D

                    Big Tymer?
                    Why, whats wrong with red? When I said drums, I didn't mean drum brakes, just the wheel mount. I have rear disc breaks. I kinda like the red instead of black. It stands out kinda nicely IMO.
                    I know my pics suck. I'll try and post a better pic this weekend.

                      Your car looks amazing. I love the look of the stock ground effects on Firebirds. BTW the calipers look good too, I'm just not liking the red brake rotor hat.
