New Pads/lil Photo Shoot of 05 GXP

[Bvill_GXP]

Front pads needed to be replaced so it was time for Cmax ceramic pads. I also took a wire brush on a drill to knock off the rust on the rotors and then painted them with black heat paint and cleaned all 4 wheels with aluminum wheel acid. I got a few shots of the GXP cleaned up too..

GXP has red brakes from the factory, IIRC, and the GXP emblems are red.

The calipers are red from the factory, and there isn't much to turn red in the engine bay without it looking ricey. There are no engine appearance/performance parts for the Northstar, so it's not that, lol. The red overlay on the GXP badge accentuates the calipers.

I see. Just curious ,thatnks for the info.
On the other note now that I looked a bit closer I see the emblems.
That color is sooo sharp.

The emblems normally have black letters, he has a red overlay on his.

On another point, Bvill, you re-used the rotors with new pads? Did you get them cut at least?
