Do it. It won't pop as much but I bet it'll look great.

 

+1 for Brembo Gold. Any splash of color is better than the silver unless that is the look that you want to go with. Again, just my 10˘.

 

If it's red or silver, IMHO red. If you're looking at getting them powdercoated some other color, the sky is the limit.

im probably just gonna order this and do it myself. The price for powder coating here in NY is ridiculous.

 

So vgautopaint does not ship to the US. In the meantime decided to put new fog bezel on. The driver side was completely missing and the passenger side painted horribly black.

 

Gonna order the grill emblem next.

 

meh, still needs a couple more coats before clear goes on

 

One down. Akebono is slightly uneven but oh well. Little bit of run here and there. Didn’t want any paint on the bolt threads so I covered it with tape. Oh well. No one is ever gonna see that and unless you’re examining it behind the wheels, you won’t see the defects.

 

This primer actually doesn’t look too bad

 

Is this project all rattle can, or do you have an air brush? Either way, looking real good for a DIY effort.

Don't beat yourself up too much about the decal. Like any repetitive project, each next caliper will look better than the ones before it.

 

all rattle can.

 

All done

 

Subtle changes

 

Been so busy last couple weeks haven’t been able to do much to the car. Building a retaining wall for my pool while working 3pm-11pm.
woke up today and finally decided to at least put the new calipers and brakes on along with the new wheel.

WELL….decided to test fit the wheels and realized that I do not have the correct lug nuts. These require “tuner” lugs. Not used to these. My maxima had Ray wheels on them and they were able to use oem Nissan lugs. Had to order new lugs. Pissed me off so much just went inside and wasted rest of the day.

 

Haven’t posted in a while. Last week I caught a flat. Decided to just put these on. Just need to put in the lowering springs and calipers
