  • painted my calipers..(PICS)

    I didn't get hot-dog vented discs but they are better than what i had and look nice too.. Here you go :


    wish i had new wheels...


    also cleaned up the inside of my wheels.. TSP does wonders..

    It will show up a lot better when i get some better wheels on...who knows what Christmas might bring..

          Looks heaps better. Although you need new wheels to show it off.

            Wow, that looks really nice!

            What did you use to clean the inside of those wheels? Was it just Brake parts cleaner and lots of elbow greese?

              for the inside of the wheels i just used a bucket of hot water with TSP, and a scrub brush. It actually came off surprisingly well, not a whole lot of work involved :)

                  trisodium phosphate...

                  It's a heavy-duty "industrial strength" cleaner. Powdered stuff you add to water. Worked great on the wheels.

                              I used red engine paint from carquest, about 5-6 coats, just keep them light and it will turn out better. I think calipers would really show thru those wheels and you should do it!
