No ass shots, but I think I see altezza's, 2nd gen JDM's would be perfect for your look IMO

yeah I really like the black on there. Ive thought about undoing the black on the door handles trim or making the handles all back, but I dont know. You are correct about the Altezzas, but I really dont like the look of JDM or orig tails. I dont really like the Altezzas either, but I like them better than the other choices. Im probably going to black out the Altezzas for now until I decided to begin my taillight project.

I am debating repainting the car a royal blue, with the black accent still, but if I do that, I'm going to wait at least until I get a new hood. I think if I go blue, then I might do some yellow fogs.

Heres an ass shot btw. I just didnt put it up because its not much different than ones I've taken before.

The braking didn't feel like much difference at first, until yesterday. Some lady and her kid ran out onto a busy street and decided to stop suddenly (so she could text!) Those brakes came into play perfectly.

Oh, and it's Jon not John. lol

*Looks at his sig* HAHA oops my bad!
yeah and your car isnt slammed but its still very stylish! Lol and that kid is crazy....I am thinking about doing the rear disc swap!

You should man, you'll love it. I keep looking at them and can't remember why I kept the drums on for so long. Debating on painting the calipers all around (have the fronts black), but after a Chicago winter, that paint just fades.

hah yeah thats why I never thought about painting my calipers.....a colorado winter would kill that paint without a doubt! And I think this will have to be a little summer/fall project I need to do!
