More like SE power haha all you low end LS's ... haha

HMM calpiers are easy as hell, it comes in a spray bottle, like tag(spray) paint..

And you just paint them whatever colour you want, most of them are just straight black, but you can get different colors to match different things..

Im doing mine black..because I have bronze rotors and bronze rota's...

A polished AEM, you might have well just bought the APC intake and not have wasted your money.

I swear all of these ricers in here!!
