haha ok, here is what I ended up doing all day... painting the 2 front calipers red and CLEANING the brake pads that were on it. I decided not to change the pads! I still have the box of raybestos... apparently when i took my old brakes off, there is PLENTY pad left on it. So I just put anti-squeel goo between the pads and the shim. Here are some highlights that ppl might find interesting:

FINAL PRODUCT:

how much pad was left on the brake pads ( all i did was clean out the shims w/ brake cleaner and put the anti squeel goo... it helped!! now only the rear brakes squeel lol, i only had time to do the front)






ahh yes, tomorrow I will have another set of pics for u guys!! I will do the rear brake pads, paint the calipers, also paint the rest of the brake high glossy black, rotate tires, and... re-do red-out!!!!!!
