Thx! I got the decal off of a reputable ebay seller, link below (size: 5 inches wide and 1.16 inch tall). I had used the guy before, when I redid my 08 Coupe calipers, and they worked great.

Thanks boosted06ss! Went to a car show last night up town, had to answer a lot of questions like:

1. So you took the motor out of a coupe and made this in to a SS?
2. What car is this? Cobalt?
3. How much HP this car make, followed by No Way.

I had to educate people all night long.... lol

god i love that color!!! i have a couple questions for you. 1) did you use some kind of spray paint for the calipers? or a legit gun/booth? ive been thinking of going a different color with my brembos and am curious. 2) was it a pain in the ass getting the original 'brembo' sticker off?

man,i really love the color of your sedan and the wheel color you chose,very good looking!!!



no homo either lol

Thanks! I love the color too, but when i was looking for a TC Sedan, the car almost chooses you, as it was the closest one to me at 400 miles away.... lol... I love it tho.

As for your questions:
I used VHT Cermaic spray paint (cast iron coat). As said before, the original brembo stamp is not a sticker. Here is the process i followed. Painting is all about prep. First, cleaned the calipers with brake cleaner, then used a brush with soapy water, until all brake dust build-up is removed. Then dried it good, then taped everything off. I did not remove the original stamp. I sprayed two coats of paint. The key to spray paint is taking your time and not getting in a rush, which causes runs. After the paint has dried for atleast 30 minutes, you can apply the decal. After decal is on, you can then start spraying a coat of VHT Ceramic Clear-Coat paint. I did 3 coats of this, 20 minutes between coats. This locks the decal in. Hope that helps.

As for the AutoX question. I could run SMF, but I am still legal for DSP. I usually run in whichever class has the most competition.

The video took a little bit of time, but I enjoy doing stuff like that.

We have two clean sedans in the the June cotm. Tough choice, really like the fact that you actually use the car for its intended purpose.

@Rob - No Prob!

@FryLoch - Thanks, these cars love the twisties!
