Powdercoated Akebono BBK '04 Coupe Upgrade *PICS*
 

Just wanted to share...

Basically I've been running the stock setup since I've had my car and it was time to change the pads and rotors... so I had a choice between keeping the same dust making setup or go with something new... and thanks to this money pit forum :D and the encouragement of the members here :coolio: here's the new BBK!

Before getting PC'd....

Ill have more with the full setup over the weekend!

Thanks for looking!! :hello:

that looks sweet bro! how much did everything cost you?

Awesome, looks good. Did u get them done thru Mike? I'm getting mine done right now.

damn, makes me want to get new brakes now. looks good.

Looks great man!:biggthumpup:

that is nice! i like it!

looks good, i would have done them in liquid cinder, just like the wheels

but looks sick either way, cant wait to see better pics

clean!

Nice work!

why black?... should've picked something that stands out more...

red letters woulda been killer

Thanks all!! :biggthumpup:

I decided to go with the black with white lettering to keep it simple and clean... everyone else has the red.. yellow... orange... which looks good and pops out as soon as you see them... I like mine though... you have to take a double take and then you go "DAMN!!" :eek3: followed with a big ol' :D

Just in case some people are wondering about them..
