Nice man. Little things like that don't change the apperance dramatically but they are nice things that should be done to make the car look even nicer. I painted my calipers the same colors, red calipers/black brackets and I also have chrome camaro SS lettering on mine. Btw, I like those wheels on there.

What kind of wheels are those? I've been looking for that style with a more pewter color to the inside. Looks good man. I just did mine this weekend. Takes a while but boy does it look good!

Thanks!

I want to get the front cover but the damn cops up here are so pissy about having your plate on the front of the car.

They're A.Z.A Z-2 wheels. I didn't have any problems getting them like other people have had with that company.

Yea, it took a long time but was worth it. I also couldn't drive it for three days cuz a damn caliper bracket bushing was seized. Had to buy a whole new bracket.

Nice man. My friend just took my old drilled/slotted rotors and we painted his calipers red on his red SS. His look killer, as do yours!

Thanks for the great compliments.

The CETA mod is coming here soon, as soon as I get a good day where I can try to do it.

And I plan on getting Corsa clones or something of that sort as they look the best in the TA bumper IMO. If magnaflow starts selling their quad tips seperate from the exhuast I want to get those.

Looks great. I think some blackbird stripes on you hood would like nice. I'm getting my Corsa clones put on at a place in Stafford tomorrow morning. You plan on coming to Sumerduck tomorrow night?
