Well, actually, brakes. ;)

A HUGE thank you to 03mmmonroe for installing the drilled and slotted rotors and ceramic pads I bought late last year from Rocket Man, also :up: for all Russ' hard work and attention to detail painting the calipers VHT blue and silver, they look great; I love 'em!!

NICE!:up::up::up:

I've been thinking of doing that to mine. It makes it look soooooo much nicer! I don't know why the factory would put a wheel on there that is open as much as ours is and not dress up the brakes to make them look halfway decent.

That looks really sharp, and not just because it proves that everyone wants silver. :P

What kind are those Rex?

Funny how everyone bashes on Ebay brakes (Race Concepts). But mine are going on their second season now, pads still look like new, almost 20,000 miles now, without a single hiccup. No real difference intown, but highway and track stops are WAY better than before.

This is all bad why?

Oh yeah $199.99 for all four rotors, pads, and free shipping. Cheaper and better to use these sets than stock.:eek:

Yup, those are RC's. Obviously not Baers or Wilwoods, but decent set-up for the price.

Thanks to all for the complements, but the real thanks has to go to Russ for all his hard work.

Oh, BTW, a special thanks to vonirkenshtine for his help with replacing my Sirius antenna, too. :up:

WOOT! I didn't know whether to paint my calipers red or black, but those pics have inspired me :D

I'll paint the inner part black ( the part that's silver on yours) and the caliper red :D

Thats good Rex, I'm glad your happy! You should get many trouble free miles out of those. BTW I torque my rims at 100 to keep from warpage. Worked good so far.

Pads are still seating in, but SOTP, feels better.

They look great and I am glad I am not the only one using the paint now!

The process is a pain but so worth it in the long run.

God I can not wait till mine are done and on the Marauder.

Looks great Rex. Guess you could get away with those kind of rotors as Blues aren't that fast :P;)
