What size are the RIMS? And do you have springs?

Looks good. Painted calipers are a nice touch especially with real open wheels like that.

I'm getting new rims this summer (once I get my bonus) and I'm going to paint my calipers black.

My friend painted his calipers and he used High temp spray paint (like 3 or 4 coatings) and then high temp clear coat (2 or 3 coatings) and it looks GREAT!

How did he do it?

the best method i saw so far(from cheston i believe) is to put a plastic bag over where you don't wish to paint and spray away.. other take the caliper off.. but i am too lazy

Might have a large stereo.

SprintMax: We were changing his brake lines, so we had the caliper off right there. Just make sure you clean it real well first, get a wire brush and some good degreasing soap. When I do it, I'll probably just mask everything off with newspaper or a drop cloth.

SprintMax yeah i did my taillights and it is a 5speed.

breaux124 i am running 18" 5Zigen GT8 rims with Eibach/ factory struts. saving up for the Koni/Sprint setup. Eibachs are not low enough.

SprintMax i did paint the calipers while they where still on i used pieces of cardboard jammed up in the wheel well to prevent overspray. i used brake caliper paint i picked it from PEP BOYS. works real good but you need at least two layers and you have to clean them often.

NickStam yeah the car is lower in the back than the front. i hear it is just the way Eibachs are but i have seen other Maxes with a more even drop. my max is just wierd i have had the springs for almost a year and it looks the same i dunno

breaux124 i do also have a big sub box in the back

Synki thanx man i do have the red clear tails

theblue thanx man more pics soon the color is rosewood.

Hey Wicked1044...

Where did you get your grill? That thing looks tight on your black max. If you made it, how much time did it take you?
