how did you get the dust shields/vents for the brake rotors so clean? was it when they were off during hub work? or did you take a wire brush to them...

Looks really nice. I just wish mine was running, I really miss it. As for my next project, I plan on getting a stock car with a blown engine and swapping in a 13b-RE and doing everything the way I want it. I'm not doing it until I have about 10 grand saved up, so it could be a while.
I'm also not used to seeing s4's with a stock front "grill" My car has it cut off for some reason. I actually kinda like how it looks.

Thats not the best picture of it, but its all I have. Whenever I get around to painting it, I'm gonna get some bondo or something and clean up the edges where the plastic was removed.

Well, the Brembo rotors are new, so that's why they're so clean. Also, I sprayed the 'hub' part of the new rotors with high-temp, low gloss black paint, to prevent rust and the ugly orange color that comes with it. The dust shields were just lightly cleaned with carb-cleaner and a rag.

I used the VHT Niteshade on all the lenses, followed by several coats of clear. I heard they sell it on Ebay? I dunno, there's a sporting-goods store that sells it by my house, so that's how I get it.

Do they sound like a weed whacker when you brake hard? I have heard that crossdrilled brakes make that sound when braking.

how much do you want for it? and did you ever rebuild the engine? Looks good!

Send me a PM with mileage and price! I already know a little history of your car from other posts. : )
