Went with the oem projector HIDs to replace the 04 reflector HID. Light output is great. Tried to get a decent pic of the cutoff, Wasn’t the best spot for it but anyway. On to the pics.

 

at the hobby store they sell something called “smoke grey model paint” comes in aerosol form. A friend of mine turned me onto it. I smoked my tail lights on my truck by just passing a couple layers over them. It’s been like 10 years and they never faded.... I’ll hit him up and ask him exactly what it was, shoot me a PM and I’ll pass the info on when he gets back to me

 

buy a foghorn?

 

Has a little accident with the G

 

Whew thankfully they didn't impact the tails.

 

Car is braking fine. Firmer brake pedal than before I changed the calipers, could have been some air is the system. I'm either going to wait till it quits raining/high humidity around here and then do a "by the manual" bleed procedure just to get the rest of the old fluid out of the system or wait until I buy stainless brake hoses and do it when I put them on.

 

Thanks...will keep that in mind. I actually bought some more vinyl tint to give it another try. Im gonna use some edge sealer around the edges before I fold them over this time. I think it should work.

 

Test fitted the 19s and I like the contrast, still deciding what color I want for the akebonos.


All that's left is to put the Swifts on but I'm waiting on new struts to arrive, might as well start fresh.

 

I would go with a dark gold or brass for the calipers. Any other color would be too much contrast between 3 different colors in my opinion. Same with the lugnuts.... get em painted.

 

Pretty good idea

 

I think stock silver or black would look good. I think if you go gold, it’s going to be too much gold with no contrast to see the brakes.

 

I think JZ's on to something and to expand on his theory I vote to match the calipers to the car's paint. Also I originally wasn't a fan of the wheels at first glance but they tie in with the OEM corner marker lights and it changed my mind. Looks good IMO. This is one time I would really recommend not installing the clear corners.

 

Changed the oil last weekend. Letting the Car Spa do their thing. Just worked a 60 hour week. Again.

 

Reall digging the color match idea, and I never noticed thy wheels coordinating with the marker lights. Good eye lol

 

Ughhh.... was doing a little driveway remodeling so I had all the cars scattered around in the grass areas around the edge of the driveway. Didn't even realize I parked the G under a GD maple tree until right now when I pulled it back into it's new parking spot.

FML this is going to take hours to clean up tommorow >.< little sap spots EVERYWHERE.
