if you actually had some nice rotors and/or wheels to go with it, itd be nice. but im not a fan of red paint.. black would be original imo

Did you use the paint for caliper? If so, the paint won't be eaten by brake dust.

Nice job. Looks kinda cool from a distance. My only thought, from a aestetic standpoint, would be to have taken em off the car before you painted them, because you got red paint on the pad retainer clips, and thatd drive me nuts.

haha.. nah, it's cool. as long as you personally are happy with it, no one else's opinion should matter.

i still think you should get some 02-04 type-s wheels and spray em... would def look awesome. or maybe some 05 type-s wheels.. either way.

any other mods?

AEM V2 intake, my progress lowering springs will be here tomorrow. I am gonna do headers and exhaust also. Gotta decide which ones. i think i might do wheels and tires enxt though. I only had the car a little over a month so haven't had much time to do a lotta mods yet.
