fbi012 Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 Finally I painted the front calipers yellow, took alot more time that I thought it would, mostly the painting part took most of the time.

fbi012 Posted June 27, 2005 Author Share Posted June 27, 2005 yup, btw the color is not exactly the same on the pics, it looks abit orange there. and the paint is not dry yet, I guess it'll become more solid once it dries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest *Jedimaster* Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 I did mine in black this weekend. Yellow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fbi012 Posted June 27, 2005 Author Share Posted June 27, 2005 ok I dont see whats wrong with yellow! Black and yellow look great 2gether. I thoug of painting Black (cant see it so whats the point), red (not really nice on a black car) and silver ( not nice on black either).. so I painted it yellow. It might be the silver wheels that look wierd, but im planning to buy black wheels soon, so it will look better when I do. just an example how yellow and black look good.. http://img225.echo.cx/img225/3435/img69071ng.th.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rc0032 Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 I like the yellow. I was thinking of doing it to match my Bilstens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melayout Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 Yellow does work with black on a GT. Yellow on a 2.5 i, is IMHO an ideal example of All Show and No Go. I keed I keeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melayout Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 thats true, which is why im changing my wheels. I didn't know that the 2.5i wheels are so heavy so as to rob as much as 80 HP. I keed I keeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fbi012 Posted June 27, 2005 Author Share Posted June 27, 2005 they are pretty heavy, im not sure about the 80HP part tho.. lol What I'm saying is that the reason it looks ricy now is because the car is black, brakes r yellow and wheels r silver, thats a bad combnation. when I buy black 18s, i will repost some pics and Im pretty sure it will look better.

Ferrari & Porsche are All Show and All Go. 2.5i + yellow brakes is All Show and No Go. well do I care about the go, sure do if I can afford it but since I cant, I'll go with show only. Seriously, all painted calipers r for show, I did not post pics of Ferraris or Porsches to compare them to my 2.5i, I did so to show how yellow looks on a dark car.

fbi012 Posted June 27, 2005 Author Share Posted June 27, 2005 http://img298.echo.cx/img298/2231/rice9eb.th.jpg lol yeah I do get the idea, but its not like my legacy is a civic or something like that.. with clear headlights and HIDs, that doesn't count as rice I guess. Anyway if after a while I find that my friends dont like it or whatever I can remove the paint and repaint it something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SVXWRX Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 I need a hood scoop cover to prevent the automatic car-wash machines from wreaking havoc inside the engine bay. My current solution is a rectangular cardboard box wrapped in a waterproof trash bag that blocks most of the water out. I was thinking of shaping/carving a piece of foam according to the internal dimensions of the hood scoop with a protroduing thick end that would totally block the entry of water and under the high pressure water would even make a better seal. But I wanted to know if there was an existing or better solution out there? You know what rice is, right ? would your h00d-sc00p-cover-intArc00l3r-protectorz gadget be considered rice?

TSiWRX Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 I can't comment on Ricyness - as I'm a RiceBoy by nature on all counts.

SVXWRX Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 i painted mine - not for the bling, but because they look really awful after a year or two. i have to do the wife's WRX calipers, but because i waited so long, its gonna be even more work. if anybody would like, i could post a pic of her calipers so you know what you have to look forward to if you leave them unpainted......
