As some of you know I had some of my parts coated during the winter. I finally go around to putting everything back together and took some pictures. The color I went with is called sparkly dormant copper. Its a reddish orange when not in the light, but comes life in sunlight. Once in the sun it wakes up to a brilliant metallic copper/orangish yellow that looks really nice with the sunburst orange factory paint. I still need to clean the engine bay a little and bleed the brakes.

I have attached some comparison pics of what things use to look like. The painted calipers look good in the pics but that was after they were first done. There was hardly any paint left when i took them to get powdered. I also plan to make a new fuel rail cover as the CF one has not held up over time.

My ride has already been lowered with Sportlines and has Koni struts and shocks. The pictures are of the old suspension. I also am running new 18" rims with SS size tires. You can clearly see from my sig the lowering and new rims. Tires in sig tho are not current. The sig shows tires with smaller sidewalls than what I currently have
