Got my tint on the other day, 22% on the front and 5% on the back. Decided to take it out of the garage and put some miles on and have fun with the dusting of snow. Once there was about as much snow as in the pictures I was having trouble with my bald tires so now shes parked back in the garage hibernating. Im still thinking about the green brakes, Im probably going to redo them in silver but I might keep them. And I have new fogs waiting to be put on since another one shattered.

I'd paint the drums black no matter what. Who wants to see drums? Either silver or black on the front. JMHO.

Yeah, red would remind me of Christmas a lot. My brother has red calipers on his green GP and it looks good Im just not a fan of mixing those colors. Not that lime green is a better color combo :ack: As far as why paint the rear drums; I just think it looks off balance with paint in the front and nothing on the back, and both sets of rims that I have for the car have a pretty large "center" so it covers a lot of the painted drum. As far as the color goes, Im just going to wait till I get the Bullitts back on to decide, but Im either keeping the green or going silver. I actually wonder how it would look if I painted them my factory paint color, but I used engine paint before and I dont know if normal automotive paint will stand up to the heat of the brakes. Anyone know?

Thanks for the compliments and advice everyone
