Default Changed to my winter Rims... *new pics*

Well I havent looked through the appearance forum in a while and seeing everyone post pics of their ride made me want to post mine too. Here are some updated pics I took last weekend.

Before:


After:
Needs a good wax after it stops raining here...




Where most of the work went 6months ago. Painted the calipers, installed the GCs, Brembo rotors, and Giovanna Suzus wrapped with the Toyo Proxes....

Tell me bout it! The rotors looked fine with the SI rims on but when I moved up to these 17s. It looked like I had some dinky little toy brakes. Time for an AEM big brake kit upgrade??? hehe

Sorry if the pics look kinda faded. I had to lighten up the brightness cuz u could barely see the rims. Now my paint looks all faded... Or else the pics woulda came out looking something like this:

Calipers are painted! They're a gray color now. I didnt want anything too dramatic looking like red or blue so I stuck with the plain gray. That pic doesnt show it very well but it actually came out pretty glossy and the brake dust doesnt stick to the calipers as much any more. And if it does, shooting it with some water from the hose takes it all off.
