i sprayed some brake cleaner, sanded it off, and used regular spray paint that protects against rust. this is just a temp fix. imma use G-2 paint later for the final product

Looks 10x better. My question is how the hell did your calipers come look so bad? Also I wouldve recommended you to use High temp engine enamel that you can buy at Autozone & Pepboys. Bcz if thats just reg paint, theres no telling how long it will last. But for a temp fix it still looks good.
You gotta be careful when doing like this tho bcz sometimes paint can still contact the rotor which will be a problem. Thk you for not painting red like everybody and they momma does! That shit is old! What color are you using from G2?
Oooo... Nice Brembos. lol Looks better and I gotta agree with Ivory red calipers are so tacky now.
i have no idea how they got so bad but i got tired of looking at them lol. Yeah im gonna get some high temp paint and do it over again once i get some motivation haha. I painted it then drove for like 5 minutes so if there was any paint on the rotors it would have came off before it dried all the way. I was thinking of going for a flat [not shinny like it is now] black with gold or white GALANT letters going on the calipers like ive seen Krispy i think has on his sig. what do you guys think?
Yeah that'll be cool
alright, i got these not long ago but never posted photo's. so here ya go =]

imma gonna install the tiens when i get a camber kit and have time, and with the wheels: they will be painted and i need tires & lug nuts =]
you can order OEM style lugnuts on Rock-Auto for pretty cheap, or you can search on Socal3G for someone local that might have them (that's what I did).
i was actually thinking of buying some black extended lug's to set off the look of when i paint the wheels bronze
what are you dropped on now, and when are the coils getting installed?!?! they looks sexy.
right now i am on OEM Jeep Style suspension lol. i am in no rush for the drop. i still need to re-shave my quarter panel fenders & buy a camber kit. im not sure if my 19's will clear with the drop.
I actually like the look of the chrome lugnuts with the bronze wheels.. I dunno
im thinking of doing matching brakes. Black calipers w/bronze GALANT letters and bronze wheels w/ black lugs. i think it would look good. sounds good im my head lol
You have to use oem lugs because of the lug seat in the wheel.
yeah i thought so. oh wellz
not yet haha =]
If you are using factory Mitsubishi wheels be sure to use lugnuts that look like this:

Or at least a shank style with a washer, preferably factory style as pictured.
What is the width and offset of said 19s? You can PM me if you don't want to reveal it publicly yet... :D
^^I think the 19's are the chrome ones that he have's right now.
yeah, the ones i have. the specs are in my garage link lol
