On Sunday, me and my cousin did a few visual mods for my car. Here's the end result.
















I'm thinking about getting new rims and lowering springs within the next 2 months.

Nice dude. The last guy I saw on here who painted his Brembos painted OVER the Brembo words lol. I was scared when I opened this thread, but I was I relieved when I saw that you didn't make the same mistake he made.

except for that red turbo thingy that needs to go. just my opinion tho

MARIN007

+1, but everything else is sexy

MachiBLue

SS4ME

Me too!

cobaltss86

yeah the red turbo on the door doesn't look good imo but like the other mods

The Turbo badge almost looks crooked but it could just be the angle of the pic?... I I'm lovin the painted brembo's. Have to work up the courage to do mine though...

WhiteSSBalt

Yeah I agree on that as well.

Rebel

Yeah, I tried painting Brembo into the caliper but I couldn't get it to come out right. So after I wasted a couple of the brembo logos I bought, I just stuck one on there. It's waterproof and should stay on for a long time. I also put a clearcoat over it so it shouldn't come off easily.

It actually is. I didn't notice that the bend in door gets lower the closer to the end of the car. I'm going to reapply it later and make it straight. After looking at it a little, It does look kinda weird, but I still like it. Maybe eventually I'll see if I can find a different one.

Did you just paint right over all of the brake lines and end caps on the Brembos? That is going to make servicing your brakes REAL fun...should have masked them off...

Also, what did you paint them with? I've heard that clear coating is a bad idea because the clear coat likes to yellow a bit when it gets hot...

good job homie looks good

Rebel

I taped off as much as I could and my cousin took the caliper off the brake disc so I wouldn't get paint on the disc or the surrounding parts. It was a high performance rustoleum spray paint. Supposed to be able to withstand high temperatures.

I'd have the SS sit in the middle of TURBO instead of aligning them together but thats just me

Rebel

That's actually what I'm going to do when I straighten it out.

Or you can buy the turbo badges from gm and stick them under the ss like the ss/sc.

Yes on the red brembos! I was waiting for someone to do that.
No on the red turbo.

laylahg5

finally! i was waiting for someone to paint the 08-09 calipers

they look good

Rebel

I wanted it to stand out a little from the supercharged ones. Maybe if you could actually read those badges I might have considered it. I figured I want to stand out a little from all you SS/SC guys. I might look for a different turbo badge though, since it seems no likes it. Although I will keep this one for a little while, since I still do.
