Well I like it and I goes with the color theme.. Now I just gotta finish the front clip and paint the hood

Definitely get rid of the red calipers and drums. I know everyone has their own taste and what not, but when it comes to something that tacky, we've just got to be the bearer of bad news. It's like old school ricer exploded on your car, it totally ruins everything else that you've done to the car.

yeah you gotta lose the red its so out of style lol. its not a ferrari or a porsche

I like the red. You've got a theme going with it, I say keep it.

It's your car. keep the red if you like it.


I miss my Cavalier, even if it made 100 hp on a cold day and had more suspension then it deserved.

I personally like it. With that said I DO see where others would not. All I did was clean them before I put the wheels on lmao! I sprayed them last year with HOK kandy red sunrise. Today when I went for a drive I recieved nothing but compliments in the parking lot so I dont know what to say lol.. Its no biggie guys, I could change the color of the brake system tomorrow if I felt like it.. I was contimplating using the Nissan magnetic gray as a base coat and shooting some prismatic in the clear aswell.. Let me know your opinions on that

Looks good. Only thing I have to say negative about the red on the brakes is that it looks like it was all painted together. Break the red up a little by painting the brackets grey or black and the pads black along with the rotor hats overall good. Now get the lip on.

Thanks Jr! I love that idea!!!

Less talk, more work.. Chop chop!!
LOL!

Everything should be all set by 4-21 next saturday.. I still have to finish painting the front bumper and then work on the hood..

the head lights would look very good if the housing was black. would match the tails. wheels look good. don't stick out like i thought they would.

Agreed.. Still looking good though, can't wait to see it done.

What do you guys think of these?

I like the darker headlights better. I think they would also go better with the rims.

I agree! Thanks guys!

Blacked out headlights will look way better. Loving watching this thing come together!

Here is something I was just working on at home. I used my Iwata 1.3mm tip for this . I stripped the rubber cover off the armrest, wetsanded it down and then cut some Dinoc 1080 in the design I wanted. Sprayed the HOK shimrin base and then wet to town with the prismatic.. Its different at hopefully you guys like it.
