Default A little blingage

Decided to give my brakes a little make over. I don't know why more people don't do it. Took me a little over 4 hours to polish the faces of the calipers and they look great. So far I've received great feedback from a few people

Caliper bracket is bodycolor BTW

Before:


After




Man I need rims



EDIT- Yeah I lost a lugnut, oops

EDIT #2 - When they were out I mic'd my rotors and they're a hair over being under spec. Does anyone have drilled/slotted set from the ws6 store? How do you like them?

Disclaimers for my poor car:
It needs to be washed. (the whole car)
I need a set of lug-nuts (but they're $25+...a tank of gas people!)
And yeah i painted my wheels. (look better when they're clean)

Now, these are from Summit Racing and were cheap.
$49.95 each and $9.95 for the handling fee, free ground shipping.

I've had them for over 2 months now and even with my shitty cheap pads my car stops TONS better.
They've saved me from an idiot pulling out in front of me in fact. Where my old rotors would have surely brung my car to a stop.... shortly after mangling the front of my vehicle.

So with better pads (non-metallic) I'm sure they would work even better.

So u save money, they perform well, and last but not least - they look nice so they'll go with your fancy paint job

Note: My car is a 97' v-6 turd and i only have rotors on the front...retarded rear drum brakes. And i believe those same rotors i bought go on your vehicle also, but of course i would make sure. (Which I'm sure you will do, because they are directional.)

EDIT-LOL I'm glad I'm not the only person missing at least one valve-stem cap.
