Painted mine Flat Black (High Heat spray paint) for the time being. I don't want to show off tiny drum brakes, like some people do. I saw some yellow painted drums, and puked 5 times. (not really, but that adds to the story. )

Dang! I wish I could have got a hold of you for that.

$150 is definitely worth the swap.

i sold it to my best friend, thats why so cheap. actually sold it to him for a new k20a itr valve cover, so the price for the rear discs is the price he pays for the valve cover.

if he wasn't interested, i would've sold them for 400 + shipping

The swap is not hard. You'll probably just need a buddy to help you run the e-brake cable and disconnect the ABS sensor in the trunk (well I did). Other than that, it's straightforward. Don't forget to get an alignment after.

No they won't. Different mounting structure.
