Brake Pads

Change your brake pads to the EBC Red Stuffs. A definite upgrade and much less brake dust. Black wheels and the stock brake pads are a PITA. Calipers would look good either LB or red.
Thanks for the tip. ;)
Your right too Lighting Blue or Red should look great. :thumbsup:
I think Silver stripes looks great - factory issue ones.

On another topic...I'm going to get the brakemotive rotors and figure while the rotors are off, paint the calipers.

So, what color should I paint the calipers for our awesome colored car? Paint match? Or what?
A couple other colors that might look good would be fury orange or yellow. I am thinking about an 18 EB PP and think I would paint them either orange or lightning blue. I kind of want the Fury Orange mustang but feel it might be a bit too much so painting the calipers that color might at least satisfy some of that itch :lol::lol:

So that's two yellows (from another thread I created on the topic), 2 reds, and 1 lime green. I'm kinda intrigued about yellow or lime green...or color match body...and of course good ol standby red...might need to do some photoshopping.

It's not our Lightning Blue but there's a guy on instagram that goes by blurr_5oh who has a DIB stang with lots of yellow on it, including the caliper paint. There are a few shots that clearly show off the accenting it provides.

My guess...Port Everglades, south side, with cruise ship in the background (Oasis of the Seas or some sh|t like that, lol)...my dad lives just north of the port in Rio Vista...I'll be staying, tentatively, at Lago Mar Hotel...to be finalized soon...other shot...somewhere under the 595?
Sweet bro! Where I grew up, just not so much concrete...jeez I'm getting old, I remember when 95 didn't even connect fully thru Ft Lauderdale...good Lord...lol...and ya I have a buzz right now, lol :cheers:
Edit: Holy crap I'm either way f'd up or I'm seeing things [MENTION=28654]Nagare[/MENTION]...is the pony in your grille blue? Looking again, it is!!...pretty f''n cool bro...I'm out, lol...ok, lol, one more time...you're under 17th St Causeway Bridge at Port Everglades, and I'd say facing east (nose of the car).

Good eye and right on the money with your edit, the lighting just comes in perfectly there for some nice shots. Last time I stopped there I was able to drive around the cruise ship area because it was right after the hurricane and no ships were running yet.

And yes to the blue pony, wanted to try something other than blacking out and think it makes it a tad unique

Came out to the parking garage at work and saw that someone that I work with at the hospital has joined the family :thumbsup: No idea who it is though, lol. I really like this pic because you can see the color contrast depending on the light; mine is in the shade, the other one is more in the light...mine has the darker blue whereas the other has the lighter, more iridescent blue. I also noticed this weekend, at night, I took one of my tactical led flashlights, super damn bright, got a couple feet away from the car and shined the light...near the center of the light on the car, I saw purple! No sh|t, try it. In the meantime, here's a pic...if you zoom you can kinda see the brakemotive rotors I installed this weekend...the stance may appear a little different to (for the better)...changed the front GT350R springs to the BMR SP084R springs...I'm really liking them and it should drop a tiny bit more as it settles which I think would be perfect.

I can attest to the purple! My drive driveway lights are LED and the car looks like it has a "shield" of purple around it.
