Front brakes done and painted. Pic inside.
I finally got around to doing my front brakes and painted the calipers about a week and a half ago. I got the drilled and slotted rotors from www.stangsuspension (recommended by AutoBadges), and I installed Hawke performance pads purchased through www.autobadges.com . The rotors cost $150.00 for the set, and the pads about $75.00. The caliper paint kit was from a local parts store and costed me about $79.00. The kit is a brush on paint kit and came with everything needed. I got the pony stickers from another on-line source, who's name escapes me right now. Chech the pic out.

Cool, hey I noticed you have the same rims I do.... I have a question. Are our rims considered chrome or are they just like a polished aluminum? Because I've got mine shined up really nice and they still don't look like the chrome rims on my dad's Dodge truck.

WTF dude.....I just used high temp engine paint, a $5 can. I painted mine black about 5 months ago and they still look awesome.

Soon as they need to be done, yup. Cross drilled and slotted rotors, another set of Hawke pads, and paint. Here's the place I got the ponys. The kit comes with the running pony, the word MUSTANG, SVT, and COBRA. It cost like $10.00 shipped.
