it looks good even if you do have rear drums. Best thing to do if you have drums and can't afford to get rid of them at the time, is paint the drums a gloss black. Looks better than the way they are, but is still low-key.

well, that's dumb, getting discs so people think you have a Z... You shouldn't be embarrassed about your car.

I plan to get the rear disk conversion at some point, but at this moment I don't have the money to do, I need to save up for a month to kinda stabilize myself again... those rims set me back more than I expected it to. I'll probably pick up some gloss black and some gloss red over the weekend and paint my calipers, a friend of mine wanted to do his calipers on his Grant Am GT so it'd be a good weekend project.

the first time I painted mine black, I didn't take them off and I didn't manage to paint anything other than the calipers. The second time, when I painted them, I took them off, because the old paint had to be stripped off.

I'm taking them off the gp but that's because they need a rebuild (I'm doing them black and the pads I use are black so you'd never know)

I have no idea how to remove the brake stuff, so I just sprayed gloss black liberally over the entire area (not the rotors of course).
