Default front brakes!

well tackled the front brakes this weekend... so easy... hardest part was picking the pads up from honda(54$)

anyways while i was doing this i thought hmm maybe i should paint the calipers so i went to autozone and bought some duplicolor hightemp red paint(5$ can) and painted them up!

im just not crazy about the results it seems the red calipers are clashing with the amber side markers... wish i had pics to show the results i think when i put my oem ap2 wheels back on in the spring im just going to paint them black and get the little decals

any other opinions on colors for the calipers

i would think Silver would look good on black or heck even white with the black s2k decals - as a side note many of us dremmiled the calipers smooth and then used an epoxy - makes for a very nice finish

how did the old pads look

the old pads still had plenty of life on them maybe 3/16 of an inch untill they hit that little metal clip but they were starting to squeek so...



maybe white would look ok
that is one color that never crossed my mind!


btw do you know anyone who has a set of decals for sale?

You needed brake work already, Matt? How much mileage on your car?
