I see you went with the "Black Ice" finish. looks really good! Nice being a little different and takes some of the cars age away which is a nice change. Now you're gonna want some nice rotors then you might as well paint/powdercoat your calipers, then dig into the suspension...you have no idea what you started.
Anyway, What impression do you have after seeing the finish in person?

Those look good! Time to lower the front and get a set of locking lugnuts.

How long have you had your Craftsman jack that is in the pic? I have the same one and it crapped out over the weekend while my car was on jack stands, I was installing my new UMI torque arm. Mine was onlly 2 years old when it stopped working......
