it's a great start, it would have been good to paint the rotors while you're at it. try to avoid getting paint on the part that contacts the pads, you'll get squeaking. Liking the exhaust tips btw!

Hot dog day is April 25, but it is a Saturday so...due to my religion I won't be able to meet up with ya. I could do it on Sunday though. I did drive it in the snow and with my snow tires it was pretty amazing.

Yeah the rotors look like crap, so looks like I'll be taking another nice day to get that done. Yeah I just installed the Greddy SP2 last week...I love it, not only did it get rid of those puny little stock tips but the sound is great.

That sounds like a perfect project to get yourself completely involved in... "honey, could you please be more patient? I've only got a couple more to go..."
