Look what I did... (UPDATED)
Well, after much trepidation, I finally did it. I painted my drums orange. Oh yeah and the RSX sway bar too.
Now before the flaming, keep in mind I am a University of Florida alumni (Go Gators!) whose colors are orange and blue. Sure it's flashy but I think it's kinda funny. Hopefully I'll paint the calipers next week.
So what do you think?
02/18/05 - Finally got around to taking pics of the painted calipers too.

Yeah, I'm not a big fan of the taillights, just put them on for the amber turn signal. Probably gonna dump them soon and look for some euros (I believe they have the amber turn signal, right?).

Rep Power: 0 I'm not really crazy about the drums but the bar looks really good. Looks like you did a quality job on the paint though. How did you do it??? you use any type of primer or anything??

For the sway bar I just scoured a bit with steel wool and painted. No heat in the bar so it should last.

I painted my custom Rear Strut Brace red and it looks great under my all silver and black ride.
but I think that the drum brakes look a bit funny, I'll go with OEM color if I were you

Rep Power: 0 If your car wasn't SSM, it might not look so hot, but it seems to work. Good job.
I like your signature text, too... PF rules!

Rep Power: 343 Actually doesn't look half bad. I wouldn't go with any blue accents though. The only way that combo would work is if the whole car was blue.

But the bar? I dunno, I'm not sure, it's one of those parts that shouldn't stand out, but that's just my opinion.

Rep Power: 0 It would be cool if you were an extreme gator fan and had your car all gator'd out with stickers and **** everywhere. But if I didn't know any better from this post, I would just think rice.

I just got back from the post office and when walking out to my car it just made me chuckle when I saw them.

Rep Power: 244 Truth is I like how the calipers look but the drums just look a bit funny. Hopefully I'll give Bonnie a good wash this weekend and dress the tires and get a true look.
