You're going to paint those first right? I went with the red Z06 calipers for my upgrade just so I wouldn't have to paint them. That and I wanted the Corvette lettering on the side... Brake upgrades was one of the more fun (both literally and sarcastically) upgrades for me and easily the most recognizable modification to my GAGT at least until I start it and the SLP exhaust sound fires up.

No I'm going to put the calipers on then paint them. lol



Of course I'll paint them first, plan on doing it today or tomorrow so they'll be all dry and ready for saturday. I hope no one would put them on then paint them haha



Can't wait to feel the difference, many people saying I won't regret it

Painted n sht. The red looks a ton better in the sunlight.


I cleaned/scuffed the fk out of it but there where still "fish eye" spots that popped up somehow. Just minor though, a caliper isn't made to look 100% pretty right? lol

Never knew we had a parking garage with a top no roof level.


Feel like the second picture is just screaming for the SC/T kit

Ya the guy in cali I think sold his car and sold his spoiler away to someone or kept it to be a hoe.



I would love the SC/T kit but I put my stock wheels back on when winter comes and I hate how the SC/T kit looks with stock wheels, no matter if your car is lowered or not the SC/T kit looks odd with stock wheels. Thats really my only prob is that it looks so bleh with stock wheels combined w/ the SC/T kit. Unless I get some extra money for some winter 18s lol

But who really pays attention in the winter anyways? I just try to get through the winter and leave the good looks for the spring/summer

Trust me, you don't know how paranoid I am about keeping my car clean lol, even in the winter. I don't mind my stock wheels in the winter but just with a body kit I feel stock wheels look bleh on any car with a kit.

One of a few pics, will upload a vid if I can later, tired as sht. That sht was fun as hell though hitten 80-100 on turns is epic in person. 3 hours, 12 laps total. People were scared to pass n sht I was flying in between everyone enjoying myself. Funny thing was a corvette and maserati broke down, 13 year old car still going strong through it all and through the 300 total miles round trip.

Nice man! Bet that was fun! I'm not a huge NASCAR fan (at all) but definitely would like to go around a track in the Camaro or G6.



Is that a Chrysler Town & Country back there? :lol:

Cleaned. I'm actually glad I debadged the way I did. For some reason I've seen many GT's with no badging on the sides but still has it all on the trunk. I like that I only have the "GT."
