Q8y's painted Akebono's :D
 
Here's some pics of them getting installed. The color is actually a mix of several different shades of blue. The end result is something similar to Candy Blue but not quite. Anyhow, here's the pics>>

The rear dust shields were actually hammered flat rather than cut to increase shield area.

Then the dust shield was cut where it meets the caliper mounting area

I'll get some full car pics after I clean my wheels. Install took roughly 2 hours. So far they feel great! So much smoother than the stock single pistons.

Nice. The shade looks very similar to Athen Blue IMO. Looks good!

E-Ticket Ride Apr 22, 2010 03:48 PM

Professionally painted or did you DIY? I like that color.

Set that rear bar to max stiffness bro :)

Once the wheels are on and the car is on the ground you can't see anything :D

E-Ticket Ride, Yeah I'm thinking of switching out to the stiffer setting :D Gotta grease the bushings first. They're so full of crap. The brakes are professionally painted of course.

did you bleed the brake fluid an put new fluid. I was at my friends shop the other day and he told me that you should bleed the brakes before installing a BBK
