Well there are already kind of natural grooves in the callipers and hubs, and tha paint doesn't cover that up. You have to remember that this is from a $20 kit. If you want them to look perfect, you'll have to take them off and get them powder coated.

For my application, i'm very pleased with the way it turned out.

No, but I did get a good price on the car. It has about 170,000 kms on it already so its a bit high, but it just had the transmission replaced.

All the stero equipment i was able to find online for great prices and the other mods i did are all really cheap.

I loved my daytona and I miss the 5-speed, but the impala is much better for city driving. i drive about 30kms every day to and from work. Need something more reliable and fun as well. The daytona served me well, but once the engine went, i knew it was time to move on.

[quote:4b16c]nice job on the car, looks good. did you do all that in one day?[/quote:4b16c]

LOL, no. Got the car about mid August. These are the things i've done over the past month or so. I didn't upload pics before because i had two disposable cameras, so once those were filled up i took them to get them scanned.

The 3.8L 3800 is a good engine, its GM's bread and butter. Im not a fan of white cars but i bet it grows on ya after awhile.[/quote:4b16c]

Yeah, it's nice to have some power under there. I like the white. If I had to choose I'd either go with white or black. I don't really like other colours for cars.
