and they came out pretty damn good, very impressed. For 17.46 tax included... can't beat it.
I just got my back right tire fixed today, ran into 2 nails... tire didn't lose any air pressure or anything, just so happened i noticed them.

The 300 dollar red calipers? I bet they were 2 or 4 Piston calipers though. Which would stop 100000x better than the 94-98 single piston ones. |

See, I just bought a brand new brake system like.... 3 days ago. The calipers were painted silver already, but barely showed cuz of the chrome rim... so i went with red. but yea... 17 bux, and 2 hours of your time. 8)
The box says wait 2hours for you to put the wheel on... the paint is dryed in 10 min.... cured in about... ohhhhh 8 hours. so i painted a caliper put the wheel on, moved on to the next. they give u enough paint in the kit to last about 30 cars to.
