Alex, what part of L.A.? Damn, I've only seen 1 picture of these on a w203 sedan and it was in the east coast.

Oh well, I guess the color match keeps them semi-original.

LOL...I promise to get some better pics as soon as possible. Unfortunately, it's not gonna be this weekend, cuz I'm not gonna be in town.

Thanks for all the compliments, though. I definitely didn't think they'd turn out this good, so I really, really appreciate it. And definitely gives me the comfort that it was money well spent.

Or at least paint/powdercoat the calipers and change the rear rotors to Stoptech cross drilled.

Thanks for the compliment, Dave. LOL...You're right about the brakes. In fact, Sander and I were talking 'bout it afterwards and he was explaining about your brakes and what they did! We're talking 'bout upgrades next time I need new rotors, that way I can do it all in one swoop.

I definitely am trying to figure out what setup to go with Blake and Stoptech rear rotors is a consideration, but, I think I'm gonna wait until the time comes (sometime next year) when I need to replace the rotors anyway. I might do a complete upgrade (not sure what yet).

Thanks for the 411, Dave. Not sure I'm gonna go with Stoptech, yet. I'm gonna wait it out until summer to really look at upgrades, since I'll have about 1/2 a year left after summer to decide for the swap before these pads are done. Other priorities for the car right now.

DREX, those wheels look like crap! color matching is only for rappers and professional athletes. looks like your going the CRIBS route w/ your car. you might as well get spinners!

congratulations, now your gonna have to drive really slow and avoid any and all road imperfections; way to think things through bucko. 19's are a whole different story than your old 18's. and you better get some wheel locks cuz you live in a bad neighborhood. in fact i'm coming over this weekend while your out of town to jack your rims and turn them into end tables... and i gotta pick up my old H&R's/KYB's out of the garage so don't park too close to the TEIN box please.

LOL...true, tommy. But he also forgot that the stockers were 17's not 18's...LOL.

Nah, my cuz's car is a pretty out of hand looking Galant. One of the nicest looking Galants around (if not "the" nicest in L.A.). I'll probably have collective pics of all our cars (EVO, Galant and My car) pretty soon. Just waiting for Reelax's car to get completely finished and out of the shop.

Thanks, Arnold. Hopefully I'll be able to take some better pics in better light. Guess that was the trade off with having a tiny/conveniant camera. Picture quality is so-so. Didn't realize how drastic the difference would be.
