Brake Capilars Done!
Well it was pretty sick, one of the cheapest appearance mods over for only like 35$ and some time.... tell me what you guys think. I used black paint for the calipers and just added the decal from afterthoughs auto, and mann that decal is worth every $$. its beautiful...

That looks good! I've got some new rotors to put on some time this winter, and I definately want to do my calipers in black, with a 'Trans Am' decal similar to yours.

If you do the rotors too it really looks great. Eastwood sells brake drum and caliper paint with the look of new cast iron and very slippery so brake dust just wipes right off.

I also used the Afterthoughts Auto caliper decals for the Camaro and they were easy to do and really look nice.
I installed the Wholesale Parts Direct zinc coated drilled and slotted rotors and they look so much nicer than the stock ones did, especially with the calpers and brackets painted.

Looks nice, I'll be doing this some day when it gets warm, and I have a day to waste away somewhere.
I'm surprised those tires even fit on those rims

This is not a hijack, I just wanted to show you what you can do with your factory rotors. I took a wire brush to get the rust off and used high heat Aluminum paint on them..they look brand new..thats been done for a while, when they get dirty I just pull the wheel and clean with dawn soap and water...you should try it!
