Brianna is geting a slight make over :)
 
Decided to go and paint my calipers black instead of the "rust" color.

Before:

how do the springs ride? i have them sitting in my room waiting for install.. looks good what you use for the paint etc..?

Atown 240 03-08-2006 09:42 PM

they ride nice. Actually alot better then expected.

I used the Duplicolor caliper kit. I got it for $4 at meijers

get the brush not the spray

Helghast 03-08-2006 11:16 PM

so you didn't take out the calipers from the assembly..

why?

re037 03-08-2006 11:19 PM

what size tire is that?

g3bio 03-08-2006 11:25 PM

sorry i wanted to add that... you just left them on and painted them?

Bryan 03-09-2006 12:51 AM

nice

Ayuaddict 03-09-2006 12:58 AM

thank you for choosing a tasteful color rather than bright red or blue or even worse yellow.

Atown 240 03-09-2006 07:43 AM

1st. You dont need to take it off because you paint it with a brush. You dont have to worry about getting paint anywhere.

2nd. The rim is a 17x7 cant remember the size of the tire. I think it's 215/25

yeah my car is all pretty much white and black. I got a black roof and coming up is a black hood. Only my engine bay has blue in it.

What do you guys think, i'm thinking of painting my hood black and painting the flip ups partially to look kind of like the s15 when they are down.

I've seen someone photoshop it and it looks pretty badass. Ill see if i can post one up.

wheels look better, now you can sell them for more to get some decent offset ones :thumb: IMO i think you should stick with either painting the whole light covers or not painting them at all.

Bryan 03-09-2006 01:17 PM

wheels def look alot better, I'd say stick with white headlight covers though

Atown 240 03-09-2006 02:05 PM

thanks for the comments, not sure on wat i'm doin with the headlights.

donna 03-09-2006 03:38 PM

Don't be a conformist! lol.


But that doesn't mean you should do something "different" for the heck of it. Ugly may be different, but it's definitely not stylish.

I know all of those words, but for some reason i cant make out tha sentance lol. It gets me lost :confused:

re037 03-09-2006 10:33 PM

i like the hood thingy actually, not sure how itll really look in real life tho... maybe as a full livery on a track car. konig = king in german.

g3bio 03-09-2006 11:01 PM

its nothing a bit of paint cant fix if it turns out nasty, do you think everyone on this forum has not tried stuff just to stay the same because they "were not sure how it turned out"? Give it a try if thats what you like its your ride if it turns out like an ugly dinosaur then change it back to white! Rims look slick BTW...:)

re037 03-09-2006 11:16 PM

black tape is your friend

Atown 240 03-10-2006 09:41 AM

How much do those wheels weigh?

I was looking at either enkei J10s

or 5zigen fn01r-c... :/
http://www.vividracing.com/catalog/images/5fno1rc.jpg

Atown 240 03-12-2006 08:40 AM

Bryan 03-12-2006 09:58 AM

yeah as soon as i teach my self to paint my hood will be painted. I get my dads car to practice on.

Cape 240 03-14-2006 02:55 PM

wheels look hot man!

IMO, keep the headlight covers white .. follows the lines much better, it flows nicer.

Anybody have pics of the same design but the bottom red and top/hood black? I was thinking about doing that, but i haven't found any pics yet.

Fast1One 03-14-2006 07:06 PM

Hmmm...wheels arent as sunken in as i thought they would be...LOWER!
