Cool, thanks all.

I didn't paint the rear because I wanted that suttle splash of color. Maybe if I had calipers in the back it would be different.

I didn't do the dust shield black yet. because I unbolted the caliper, removed the rotors and pads then bolted calipers back on. I wanted to get as much of the back as I could. <- Picky...

I'm going to get cross drilled and slotted rotors one of these days, then I'll paint the dust shield.

I have the same color xB, and red calipers and drums. I think it looks great! Please post pics when you get the new rotors, I have been looking at getting some.

Maybe it is just the pictures.... but do you have the right Size Tires to go with your rims to keep the diameter the same for the wheel height??

i think its a 35 series tire and its tapered, so it looks thin at the bottom because of the angle of the pic.

but, i could be wrong (have been b4)

Painted drums look stupid because usually they always look like crap. Calipers look good though.

It's just the picture. Actually the tires do look small because of the tapering, but they are 215/35-18
