Looks good. You should paint your calipers.

A ceramic paint is what you are looking for. Autozone sells a spray and brush on caliper paint kit. It is fairly durable and is easy to apply/reapply. It just has to be clean. Buy yourself a set of Stainless Steel braided brake hoses and paint your calipers while you have them off. Rotorpros sells an excellent set of cross-drilled/slotted rotors that you could change out at the same time. Red would be a good color (like mine) The kits comes in black, yellow, red, and blue. I am going to paint my Son's RS3.0 calipers white. Of course, powder coating your calipers or getting them anodized would be the best for looks and durability.

sounds like a plan. it will all be done in due time right now im saving up for a lip kit the supercharger is already paid for so. im going to worry about cosmetics for a while cause my dad is a warranty stickler. and i see his point so for now all im going to do performanse wise is supercharger and s pipe and the axle back exhaust i already have installed. be plenty for me now. what kinda horses u think ill have? oh and what would the 0-60 time be maybe u might have an idea??

You are playing it smart. You should be just around 200WHP with that setup. The stock airbox is kind of choking you. The TRD setup comes with a TRD filter and a second carbon filter. The 2nd filter is there for emissions only. Removing it will gain you little.

If you have not seen the TRD S/C in person, you will find it very ugly. The extension tube is chromed, but the other cast aluminum parts are ugly as heck. I painted mine with the caliper paint or you can have them polished. Neither will void your warranty and that is straight from TRD. That is, as long as, you don't take anything apart.

DIY Everything I used to do that I bought at Autozone. It really was not that hard to do. You just need to have a little attention to detail when you do it. I have a post on ZPI's forum that I could post in the how-to section on here.

If you got money to spend, ZPI can rebuild your tranny to boost its performance.

new grill.. thought about painting it black but what do you all think..??

Nick06tC · #16 (**permalink**) Sat., Jul 21, 2007

Get it powder coated black. Should only cost like $15 or so.

Looks good!

carboncrazytc · #17 (**permalink**) Sat., Jul 21, 2007

i was thinkin bout it but i dont wanna do too much black it gets kinda tacky. dont u think i am getting hyper black wheels. im getting 18x8 axis's

Kalvinz61 · #18 (**permalink**) Sun., Jul 22, 2007

I think it looks nice the way it is, where and how much did you get it for? i dont like the 08 grill looks, its like it was hole punched lol.

navylife59 · #19 (**permalink**) Sun., Jul 22, 2007

I agree woth Nick06tC. Powder coat gloss black if your going with black wheels. Leave alone if your goign with bright wheels.

carboncrazytc · #20 (**permalink**) Sun., Jul 22, 2007

i got it from customtc.com the gloss black was like 30 dollars more and i said to heck with that i can paint it my self. im going with an anthracite color rims or maybe a dark bronze. i can take the grill out easily and paint it but for now the grill mathces the rizzims.
