Nice, bro. Paint your calipers a brighter color so that can stand out now.

Looks great on the silver. Have you thought about replacing the lugs/caps with something that'll blend in with the color of the rims?

perhaps, then, you might want to paint them black. I had Torq-Thrust 2's on a black 88 Buick Lesabre I used to own, and I painted the front calipers and rear drums black... they didn't stand our like red calipers do, but they looked REALLT nice when the car was clean. I'll see if I can dig up a picture.

Looks good, post some more pics, would like to see them in sunlight. I'm in the process of painting mine the same color, sanded and primed this weekend. Do you know what brand of paint he used?

Now that is a good idea, would get rid of the dirtyness of calipers but not make them stick out. Might have to try that. By the way the Buick looks nice, real clean. Makes me miss my old Caprice, which didn't look half as nice.

I have a set of monaro center caps I was thinking about painting to match, just need to figure out right color.

Took some better pics of the whole car. Thanks for all the compliments.

what he should do is upgrade to the 05/06 brakes for both the look and performance.

Nice job, beat me to it! I made a template and sprayed some paint on, wanted to see the color up close.

painted. I didn't do it, got them from another member on here (04gtoowner) he went through the whole process of sanding them down and priming them and everything, basically he did it the right way. Unlike my lazy ass which would have just spray painted them and wondered why the paint was chipping off in a year from now lol

Very nice on QSM!

Thanks I'm pretty happy with them.
