Fill me in, why are you getting a new sedan that's the same year? You live in MN don't you? Isn't the AWD a good thing?

Maybe he wants a 6MT?

Painted stock calipers FTL!

But this does exist. I've seen it on the forums. Just a matter of finding the pics is all.

The AWD is a lease, and to much money to buy out. So i found a black 6mt with the same amount of miles for about 6 grand less.

If you have real aftermarket brakes (e.g., Brembo, Stoptech), then it's okay to show them off.

thought about painting mine a darker silver color. Has to look better than dirty but still not attract too much attention.

Janik, I made a thread like this a while back, got some good advice. I think the consensus was stockers look best stock colour, or maybe black. That might be a nice way to go on your black sedan. Since they are not all that attractive, you probably don't want to draw too much attention to them.

What would be a better use of your time and $$$ is this...



...or this...



A nice dark window tint + tailight tint overlays will give you a more agressive look, esp. with a black G.
