i just ordered the G2 gold paint kit and PoLaK's RX8 stencils I plan on making black. I also want to polish and de-bur my calipers to make 'em smoother.

Anyways; looking good!

Looks good. I'm gonna do my calipers in red to keep with a red/black theme. Not original, but easier then changing the interior lighting.

Don't forget to do the dust shields! You'll be happy you did. I spent the extra money and painted mine black...and my calipers are blue.

I assume you are referring to the rotor hubs? If so then it is really easy. Jack the car and put it on stands. Pull the wheels and clean the hubs with a brake cleaner and a wire brush and then apply high temp paint.

Check my thread for some pics of the hub and calipers painted.

Mine were very rusty so I painted them. The brake cleaner will not help remove the rust. It is to remove all the dirt and grime so the paint has a clean surface to adhere to.

I noticed on another thread that you had these listed as a form of mod to your car. Question I have is what site will show an up close pic of these 2 items? I'm having a hard time trying to see the differences from the stock and these after market items.

Another question is the bass speaker box you have listed.. Can you post a pic of it and do the back seats go down so you can fit a box or get a box in the trunk?

I like the look. I have always noticed the Z 's and G35'S with the copper calipers. How did you get that color. Was it called nissan copper? I'm thinking of copper fpr my White 8. Thanks
