The SS badges are definately upside-down! Either that or the car is upside down and the badges are right. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />

Looks like you could use some SS centercap decals too. You have mail.

Yes, you guys are right, the SS badges on the driver's side only are upside down. I was going to fix it, but I am afraid I will mess up the paint.

Thanks for the compliments,
Eric

Looks good.

Also looks like your wheel took a pretty good hit on a curb, eh? <img border="0" alt="[whiner]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cry.gif" />

The "LS1" decals are from LG Motorsports and the "Camaro" caliper decals are from Afterthoughts Auto. Both sponsers on the right.->
That dent on the wheel came with the car, unfortunately. <img border="0" alt="[judgement]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_judge.gif" />

Did you take your calipers off to paint them?

blkjackss,

I took the calipers off but left the brake line attached and just set the caliper on top of a jack stand. I decided to paint the bracket and caliper the same color. I used a wire brush, brake cleaner and sand paper to clean them. I got the paint from pep boys(bright red caliper paint). And used high temp. clear coat. I did several coats of red and clear. It took a total of 8 hrs, but it was well worth it.

Eric

Looks Great! Yah I'd flip the SS logo and remove those weights that are on the outside of the rim and put some stick-on's on and you'll be set!

Sharp car!
