omg that took me WAY too long. but the effort was well worth it. too bad we had some rain this morning :(. i ended up going with red for the calipers and black for the rotor hubs......i think it looks really good. much better than i was expecting. i hadn't taken it for a drive to clean off the rear rotors yet but enjoy!

if you look closely, you can see my wheel lock key still on one of the lugnuts...i actually went for a drive around the block afterwards with it still on there before i remembered to put it away! :eek:

yep, gonna try the falken gravity sport springs that KYMP5 is selling. for $90, we'll see how it goes. though the rear already sits kinda low doesn't it?
 
actually i was worried that the red calipers would take away the attention from the lugnuts. then mission accomplished :)
 
Nice - looks good. The red calipers pick up the red writing on the rims, too.
