G35x Wilwood Painted. BBK Project Complete

I know I shouldn't mess with Wilwood powder coat, but I really like to have
blue caliper to match up with my lakeshore blue G35x.

I tried striping the paint first, but the Black Powder paint came with the Wilwood caliper woun't come off. So I wind up hand sanding the paint off & repainted with Chevy Blue Engine paint. The G2 paint blue color doesn't match my car. This is the closest match I could find for High Temp paint.







Project complet

The Wilwood letter are raised from Caliper. So just paint over the whole thing & scrape off the paint from the letter before dry with a scraper.

The front is dropped 0.5" wirh Sedan Sport spring. I did drop it 1" at first & got some bottom hit while driving on unpaved roads for lake access. I take it for fishing every weekend with canoe strapped on top. I must balance form & function. This baby can't just sitting pretty, she's got to deal with some serious dirts

I was just going to post the same thing. I'm curious to see how your experience has been since you've purchased them, and how the car feels with the added front bias?

Yeah. I am in the market for a BBK and I spoke with StopTech and he stated that their BBK hasent been fit to a G35x so he said that its safe to assume that they dont fit. These are the only ones that I know for a fact that fit on the "X".

I am really interested to hear ma_sha1's review
