Pics: Painted brakes and nostrils.

[pHEnomIC]

Here's my SOM T/A, I'm on break so I wanted to do a few things to make it show quality.

1st thing I painted the nostrils, the car came with flat black grills that were faded and touched up with a sharpie or something. I painted em glossy black:
Before:

After:


Here is my brakes, I still have to do the front ones but, Joel recommended I try a "Anodized Orange". I took his advice and they came out great. I also painted the fenderwells, rotors, and cleaned it up nice. I think soon I will paint the inner surface of my rims as well. The car looks spectacular. Only problem I had was the dang rotors were frozen onto the axle so i had to bang the hell out of them to get em off.


And here's an overall pic:

Those brakes look killer.

Is that an aftermarket Ramair hood? Where's the lower nostrils?

looks great, Jon! The rotors look sweeeeet. Nice pic with the chic in the car too haha. That's the HO Ram Air hood, a very sweet hood!

Sweet. Is it an original WS6 or just a TA?

Ben, you dumbass, it's a Trans Am. . . All V8 fourth gen F-Bodies came standard with rear discs. . . Dumbass! lol j/k

I'm going to polish or paint my calipers, I haven't decided which I want to do yet. . . lol

[pHEnomIC]

I tried polishing but they immediately rust, i guess you have to polish them and then clear coat em.

those brakes came out great!!! as you can see i dont give sh!tty advice, haha

[1BADAIR]

I have always thought about painting my fender liners


HEHE the rotors weren't stuck, the parking brake was on

Correction!

Okay okay I worded that wrong Nick. Phenomic has brake calipers and rotors on the rear brakes. I know neither of our 4th gens have that. I know because I just looked. We have brake drums Nick, so this must be an aftermarket mod. Please refrain from the dumbass crap before I make you cry.

You guys have v6s which is why us 6'ers have drums and not rotors.
