I think it looks good just I have trouble changing the stock apearance of my Rx-7 unless its swapping out my stock rims for Volks GTP's. Also did you have trouble with rust in the on the inside of the brake rotor and if so what did you do to get rid of it. None-the-less as long as you like it who cares what others think.

nah bro i didn't have any problems with rust i just clean everything up with some wd-40 before i primered it and painted. Im happy with the stock rims on the car and if i was to get some rims it would be a set of volk wheels denfinitly but i kow what you mean bro

Also heres something you can try...My turn signlas in the front wear pretty dim looking so i used some brake fluid on them heres the before and after..

Before:



After:


Its' kinda ghetto but it work pretty good make sure when you do it that the car isn't in direct sunlight try to do it in a shaded area and make sure the turn signals are cooled off

To remove all the rust from the middle of he brake rotor, the hub, all you gatta do is get a little buffer and buff all that **** off. If it rust on a lot your rims are ganna be a PITA to pull off, i know I pull of rims all damn day.

I like the red calipers, the red backing plate is not my style.

Yea but i figure it would look weird with the front calibers painted and then the rear ones stock looking..

Nothing to do with the calipers, I'm referring to the backing plate.

I agree I think you should not have painted the dust cover for the rotors. Other than that it looks good.

Yea bro i was thinking the same thing. But i dunno yet bro I want to get another set of FD wheels and get them power coated. I think the Black rims w/ the black color of the car would look badass w/ the painted calibers

Whatever i decide i'll keep you all posted with pictures cause i can't stop looking and take pictures of the FD
