Default Wheels, tires, rotors, hubs, and calipers done...

Finished that up finally after a couple months of shipping delays and just about everything that can go wrong. I'll post some better pics when I get some more time this week, but I at least owed you guys a look.

17x8 front
18x8 rear

Thanks, Paul.

I like it. Now you have to rip it all apart again to cut a coil out of the front spring!!!

That is a good looking setup. Nice and clean. The red brakes look good with the drilled out rotors and chrome rims.

Hey Everyone,
Thanks for the kind words.

Stock Calipers, painted with Duplicolor Caliper Paint Kit.
$14.00 bucks for the kit.

I planned on cutting the springs, although thats a job I'm not trusting myself to do. Looking for someone who knows what hes doin to help with that.
