You go mudding a lot?

Looks good...I am about to do the same think this weekend....

 

[Leaf]

What kit do you guys use to do this?

 

[CatmanJJ]

That looks pretty sweet.

 

[DTNODYA]

They look nice.



OFF TOPIC:

Does anyone know how to take the shield thingy off the fronts? The rear is just held on by three bolts but I couldn't figure out the font. Are they pop rivets? I want to paint them (already did rear ones "aluminum") ...

looks good!

I was going to paint my calipers but i already have a Red car so i'm trying to think of another color to paint them.

Yours looks damn good.

 

[gtstangau]

That looks preety good, red brakes stands out nice. Never seen red brakes on a purple car before, but it looks better than i thought it would!

Nice job.

I agree. Nice work. A lot of people scream RICE when it comes to painted calipers, but I don't agree.

What did you use? I have a black 02 with 17" polished Y2K cobra R's that I wouldnt mind dressing up a bit!

Anyone have any pics of black calipers? Or blue even?

 

[PULMEOVR]

I use the Duplicolor caliper kit, but I think the G2 kit would be better.

Looks awesome! Good job. I'll be re-doing mine tomorrow morning. I'll post pics when I finish.

I used the duplicolor kit aswell... was nice.. but the paint will peel if u put too much force on it when u touch it.... so i'd probably change your brakes before you paint your calipers, that way u dont have to touch em for a long time.

Yes, they are pop riveted on.

You'll need to pull the rotor off to get to them to drill or chisel them off. You can put them back with either the rivets or nuts and bolts coated in threadlocker.

pimp!



Don't take off the dust covers unless you are ready to replace your calipers sooner than later.

dupli color works great!

Mine...

Thx. What a stupid design that is. Why not just use bolts/screws (whatever) like the rears ...

 

[Mustang5L5]

It's tight clearance i beleive, that's why they used rivets
