well i had some time today and decided to head to auto zone and got the last brake caliper paint kit (red) for my car today and here is some shots of the fun .. IMO i think they came out great .. and i also got some black paint and painted the rotors but only the spots you can see with the wheel on .. i think it came out pretty good ... yes I NO I NEED TO LOWER IT im waiting on fender rolling :-)

FRONT


REAR


whole side now

 

Sorry Not a fan. Bright colors should be on BBK only. Should of painted them silver or gloss black IMO

 

How many fingers of gap do you have right now?

 

i think im like 3'' rear and like 2.5-'' front .. im ordering my camber kit so when i lower it the wheels will defiantly be tucked nice i can do everything right there ... .. FIRST needs fenders rolled then i can start the rest of the work ...

 

+1 Just my humble opinion but the red looks out of place on the stock calipers. I painted mine silver and they look great.

 

well if i painted it silver i think there will be TO much silver around the wheel i wanted something that stands out .. cause 1st i was thinking silver but IMO i think it woulda been to clustered in there

 

I know you're dropping your car, but can't get over how jacked up it looks! If it were an X, I'd understand, but you're not driving an X, right?

 

i no its looks really high from a camera ... normally your stock tires are what 40 45 high im 30 rear ... thats why it looks so high ...im trying to go one step at at time and order everything i need to finish the car at once ... roll.... drop... camber.. and ill be set ... im going to drop it like 2'' or more with my 350z tein s-techs .. so when im finished it should look great ..

 

Silver looks fine...it just makes the brakes look clean.


Red looks fine too, not my first choice on a G35, but it still looks fine.

 

Is that a 265/30/19? You are aware those tires are 1" shorter than stock? That's making it look higher than it is.

You should really have a 265/35/19

 

Your going to get over the red very soon. Just do it right and go back to silver or black. Damn i thought my car was a 4x4 what lift kit are you running haha. Just giving you a hard time. I'm in the same boat trying to all my suspension parts one at a time.

 

i was wondering y his car looked so damn high..
damn.. do you really need 265 on a 280hp car? lol.

 

I painted mine charcoal gray ( urethane base coat with urethane clear top coat ) because I wanted them to look clean and shiny but not stand out either.

 

Looks like what 16 yr olds do to their Civics...

Not a fan at all


I just painted mine the same way, Dupont base and clear, mine are dark graphite, looks pimp with matte black wheels.

 

not a fan, the 05+ oem calipers are too small to draw additional attention to. As others have mentioned, this is a typical look of the 16 yr old civic owner.
