Everything on my car is black with little red touches, except my titanium blue shift knob

Just wish it wasn't garage bound until April.

Our cars haven't been out for two years.

Wow, the powder coat looks sharp. Very nice.

If someone offered me a Free Brembo upgrade I wouldn't say no though.

What really looks bad are the painted drum brakes

Silver, i was surprised by how good they look. They don't stand out but look better than stock.

Thanks! It was also fairly affordable, too. If you ever need powder coating services, http://www.thepowdercoater.com is easy, fast, and affordable.
