Dude, I hate you. Your car is awesome.
BTW you should take off the rotors, sand em down and paint them with 800* "header" paint, Its flat back and looks awesome !

It looks really nice. Your car is basically what I want mine to look like in the near future lol I was thinking about getting those black projectors but wasn't sure how they would look. Now I know  I think I'll be getting some soon

Looks awesome!
What did you use to paint them?
I've thought about painting mine but they are pretty old and rusty, do you think it would even do much/be worth it on old calipers?

Everytime you post pics makes me miss my GP even more. Even seeing them drive down the road, I wish I didn't have to trade it in.
