Taz is kinda ghey anyway, so don't worry about him Josh. Welcome to the club. Be sure to add a sig so we know what you're driving (or occasionally ranting about...which will come with due time).

Real nice. Looks good on the white. Time for some new brakes, though, huh? I'm in the same boat as you. Just gotta dive in and buy some zinc plated rotors.

Thanks everyone, yea i definitely need to do something with the rotors. I was looking at the R1 concepts, I've had mine turned once and I think they need it again.

Yea I was thinking about painting the calipers as well. What have you guys been using for paint? I thought about just using duplicolor. I havent heard anything about Powerslots, are they just a different brand?

Use the G2 caliper paint kit. More expensive but it will look better and last longer.

Nice wheels! Lower that thing now and it will be perfect.
