"Hallelujah!" finally paint is finished(pics)

so you may have seen my earlier thread where i ranted about how long my paint job was taking. I took it to Thunder Road in Round Rock, tx back in September after a forum member recommended them. They had lost some employees and we had a lot of wet weather so I didnt get on to him too much. He also threw in about $600 worth of weatherstripping, rocker panels, etc to make up for it. I finally picke it up yesterday and I have to say I am very pleased with the final result.

pickin her up from the shop

just today i got some 255-50 tires on the rear to fill up the back fenders, this pick is yesterday w/ the 45's

think i may start using this to shave

yes they are 17x8's
i tried to install some stainless plates from airrides technology(http://www.ridetech.com/productinfo/wheelplates.asp) to cover the calipers and rotors and give it a clean look but unfortunately the calipers are in the way

Looks good!

I wouldn't worry about installing covers to hide the disc rotors and calipers, they look a heap better than boring drum brakes behind those purposeful torque thrust II's.
