Well, I finally did the rear disc swap. I have had 2 swaps at my house, just never did them. I got a GREAT deal on all this shit. $350 for all of it. Rotors, new SS lines, new e-brake cables, 19mm RSB with ES stuff, new pads, and brand new calipers. It was a whole S/R rear assembly, so it owned. Also, I Nite Shaded my tails, and my reverse lights are next. Also painted my front calipers to match the red rears, and added a CF metra kit to match the rest. Finally, I got the rear bench done for my seats, and doing the top part tomorrow since I gotta go to work in an hour.

Btw, I realize the car is a mess, lol. Trust me. But, it is in a slight rebuilding stage so it'll all come together VERY soon.

Dont forget that the area that the seat belts pass through also gets hog-ringed down. You will most likely need to cut some of it down because I made them from scraps.

After pulling them and making your holes and fastening them down, it will pull out most / if not all of the wrinkels towards the center.

Over 2k worth of parts in there, lol. Hell, maybe even 3k.

I also learned from the RDS that my exhaust that Lyshk0 sold me is NOT stainless, which is a good thing since I paid more since I thought it was stainless and it is indeed aluminum. Thanks asshole.

I'm really glad I didn't sell it too. I love it too much. And going out there everyday and seeing it makes it worth it...for real. And if I didn't have it ricers wouldn't yell "GAY" out their window to me. LOL

Tails look great but I bet the cops will nail you. They're probably too dark for their tastes.

i had my tails and reverse lights tinted 5 % for all summer and two winters and nothing, from any cops the only time i got pulled over was for red neons i used to have on the interior.

dont worry i dont have them anymore

my tails have been niteshaded for over two years and i have NEVER had a cop say anything. OH, and my reverse lights are niteshaded and they are red because the red pigment in it.

maybe if you didnt use 15 coats, you wouldnt have got a ticket.

and mine are damn dark also

Thats debateable... And since they arent vented rotors like the front it doesnt matter as much. It also depends on the angle and shape of the slots. Som manufactures say put them the other way, some say to put them the way he has them.

Unless I get instructions with rotors I purchase or see instructions on the manufactures website, I put them on the other way.
