Maybe black? Also depends on your wheel color, what grills you have, etc. If you have hyper silver wheels and leave the chrome grills silver might be best, but since you have a sedan with black grills, molding, and window trim I'd be inclined to say black. Our brakes are actually pretty kick ass for the size, power, and weight of our cars imo.
Yeah that was my first thought too but I wonder if having the dark grey rims on the car and black calipers would be too dark. My 135s are my winter wheels

It was really nice to finally get the car up on stands and have a good look around, get my hands dirty and see what all the fuss is about. All I can say is WOW, this car is really well-thought-out! Why don't all vehicles have the oil filter right on top of the engine? Genius!
Sold! Will do. I'll shoot you a PM.Quote:

I set up a "clinic" appointment with the dealer. They called me and they said they would do a free 27 point inspection, top off my fluids, and wash my car.

That means they will most likely recommend $800 in repairs..Quote:

Also inspected why I had lost a quart of Oil, and its looks like I may have a bad oil pan gasket :(
Also saw that something damaged the metal brace under my car...I attached a picture. Its like it grabbed it and ripped it...idk what happened?
The car feels so much better now with new control arms. It handles like brand new again :) I love it. Next thing on the list is coil overs :)
