Nice paint job on the bowties! Go with black if your going to paint your drums and rotors, it looks really good.

rims look good but i would remove the stickers on the rims and please don't paint your calipers and especially your drums.

did you get your car aligned? that will more than likely be your problem.

thanks man
i will remove those stickers
i wanna paint the drums because they're getting rusty

yes i did get it aligned
at firestone but the right front wheel doesnt look straight and i told the guy and he said it was my fault because i lowered the car and there was nothing they could do about it
