Oh yeah, stock pics baby!!!11!

Fret not though...lightweight 18's are in my living room, meats are in transit, I'm just finishing up refinishing a set of GT500 Brembo's, the Watt's link is impatiently waiting, and Ground Control took an order from me yesterday...the money pit begins!

Nice looking car. Going breaks and suspension first is very smart.

Dammit I love that color! Reminds me a little bit of the Sonic Blue on the Lightnings.

How unthoughtful of me...and so close to Valentine's day! This is right after I ran a 12.66 right off the showroom floor (as you can see on my G-Tech).

Got the calipers back a week or two ago from Seattle Powder Coat. These were take-off's and appeared to have come from the bottom of the pile..however I didn't really care since the price was right (thanks again Dex!) and I wanted to refinish them anyway.

Before:

After (but not done yet!):

I've got some Brembo stencils from Eagle Day Parts ( http://www.eagleday.com/brcapaki.html ), and sometime soon will be putting the logos back on since the calipers just look so plain without 'em..

NO, just tell us.

NO, just tell us.

Jeeeeeeze...tough crowd! GC coilovers for the front and kinda coilovers for the rear..

And what's a good mod without manufacturer stickers in 4 different colors, a GRM calendar, and no instructions?

Ditched work a bit early to get these mounted up. They'd be on the car but I'm taking off for the weekend and I've gotta get ready for that..

Weds Sport TC-005 in 18x9 wrapped in 275/40-18 General Exclaim UHP's. I know, I know, expensive wheels with cheap rubber, but I thought I'd give them a shot as they seem pretty well liked based on the Tire Rack surveys. I think it's entirely possible that this wheel/tire combo will be lighter than the stock 17's; advertised weight on the tires is in the 30# range and wheels are 18#-ish.

Looks nice, now take pics of the parts on the car.

Working on it. Suffering from a bit of "more money than time" right now, plus the weather in Seattle still sucks and I don't have a garage at my place. But my coworker's brother in law has a nice little shop with a lift; I'm going to see if I can flip him a few bucks to use it for a day..

 

[DusterRT]

Finished pics of the first one. Came out a little better than I was expecting, hopefully the paint will stick to the powder coat (I scuffed it up before shooting; letters are in flat white and the entire flat area the letters are on I gloss clear coated).

Breaks look great man!

 

[kleistang]

looks great, u could hit high 11s with those lightweith wheels and rubber man.
