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 and the encouragement of the members here here's the new BBK!

Before getting PC'd....





After getting them PC'd...







Mounted on the car...











and now with the wheels!!



Sorry I had to slap my old rear stockers on for now while my real ones are in the shop... but I do have some teasers of the front...





Ill have more with the full setup over the weekend!

Thanks for looking!!

Thanks all!!

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!!" followed with a big ol'

Just in case some people are wondering about them..

Akebono BBK Kit from Coz @ Concept Z

Powdercoating from Mike the PowderCoater www.thepowdercoater.com Awesome work!!
