I hope everyone likes. tomorrow im going to degrease the engine bay and clean it down good. I am going to take another engine bay pic tomorrow. you can't really notice the cover and the cap bcuz of the lighting. ill try to get better pics tomorrow if i can.

I like the darker graphics better than the white ones looks good. Glad to see that you upgraded from the ultra powerful 320 cca battery the car came with. I think you will like the new rotors. What brake pads are you putting with it? The upgrade that I did drasically helped with the braking performance of the Vibe. It may catch you off guard.

i went with the duralast gold ceramic CMAX brake pads. they leave less brake dust and stay at cooler temperature then the normal. $55 wasn't too bad for them at autozone so i should be set with the brakes. I am also painting the calipers and drums black as well.

thnx for the compliment on the graphics. I really wanted to do something with matte black and get rid of the silver bright sticker on it. gives a cleaner look to it.

That's funny you have a blue car and going to paint your calipers black and I have a black car and plan to paint them blue .

Sounds good though! $55 is not bad at all either.

lol at the paint! hahaha.

yeah. plus the brakes come with a lifetime warranty.

I went with Satisfied pads and Power slot rotors and was extremely happy. There is a guy here in Sarnia selling a carbon fiber engine cover for $100.00 if you would like I could see about it.

Now I have to clean my car damn it.

[Mariachi]

oh damn! for the 1zz right? send me a link to it so i can see it.

[notallthere]

If you want I can pay and pick it up for you then ship it out from Port Huron. It should save you on the shipping.

[Mariachi]

i have to talk to wifey. i would definitely take your offer but let me talk with wifey first about it. im kind of getting close to my spending limit. lol

[Ringo64]

NICE!!! I've been planning it for a while. I just can't find the right paint I want and have been too lazy with everything I'm doing to jack the car up and paint four calipers

[Mariachi]

anyone in your area that can help you do it? set up an install meet. my team and i are going to get together and help each other with the cars in a couple of weeks.

[Mariachi]

ok. i went to harbor freight and purchased a heat gun for 9.95. awesome price!!! anyways, i purchased it so that I can debadge the car. well... i just finished the two sides and it looks so much better. i can't wait to do the back tomorrow.

Also, another surprise came in. my PowerStop D/S rotors came in!

[Ghost]

install then pics then .
