Well I think it's a question of refreshing your paint every year sadly. I paint them with VHT caliper paint. Generally the paint is still good after a winter, but I'll refresh it at the same time I do my annual brake lubrification and checkup.

You just summed up my reasoning right there. It's no coincidence I bought them after the MS3 was bought and sat next to it for a few weeks...

Actually you would be surprised of what a microfiber cloth with water can achieve!

PM sent.

No the MS3 is my father's car (crazy) The desk is an Alpine iDA-X001. It doesn't have a CD player. It can only play AM/FM/sat radio and USB devices. Optimally, you want to use it with an iPod that you can control directly from the deck. That's what I do. It's awesome! AHAH! You have no idea...

I did it with a Canon Digital Rebel. You can achieve the same result in good lightning condition as long as you can select the shutter speed on your camera manually.

I look on autopia.org before buying any detailing products... I used the Three step Mothers wax which is surprisingly comon yet surprisingly good. As for the pic of the tach, I simply exposed it for around 15 seconds and reved slowly while shooting. Pretty easy to do yet looks cool ;)

Last pic shows odo at almost 60,000 km. And it's been trough 4 hard canadian winters now! (silly)

I figured after waxing for the whole day, even though the skies were grey, it was time for the first photoshoot following the miserable winter. So here are some of the pics. Now I just need to wait for the landscape to get a little greener!

Well I just finally did it. I was nervous, but the result is surprisingly good (to my taste at least). I painted my calipers RED (and the discs black). The brakes are due to be replaced though...

Good choice going black. I think I'm going that way too (probably painting them tomorrow). If your rotors are new, I would suggest painting : outside of the hat, inside of the rotor, fins and exterior of the rotors. That way you are sure to keep the rust off. If I can I'll take pics tomorrow...

Very nice pics! Engine shot is beautiful.

I just love the RSX one with the blur.

Stick for more zoom zoom
