Looks better! You might want to replace the plastic lug nut caps with chrome ones to match the wheels.

I painted the center of my rotors black, but mine are more visible. Keep up the good work.

Nice!! Did you mask everything or disassemble the brakes? I thought about doing this to mines but wasn't sure if leaving the brakes on was a good idea.

ditto. it was simple and little details like that goes a long way.

+1 for painting the rotors centers. They rusted quick so i took the calipers off and pulled the rotor, cleaned it, masked and painted black.

finished the passenger side today. was easy, i just taped a garbage to the car around the wheel well to prevent over spray on my car and put a shopping bag over the rotor. i wanted to put camaro letters ont he front but i didnt feel like ordering them lol

nice man, if i could redo them i prolly would have done solid black cause it was a pain and took much longer doing two tone

Did you take the calipers off? Or just paint them hanging?
