The big brakes look very nice mate, would like to get a set of 6 piston HSV brakes for my ute soon. You need to get some of those plastic covers for your wheel nuts though :p

I think it makes the rims look a lot tidier personally, and really cheap. Like this, these are some old VY SS rims and calipers I painted on my first car

I do have them sitting around here somewhere actually from my old ute. But am hoping to buy new wheels in the new year anyway so will be getting new nuts to suit too.

2000 Vs Ute
Keep looking at this every now and then and keep going "hmm, always have liked an impulse VZ Ute"

Brakes look good, being red they are still subtle enough.

Nothing too exciting happening here, so a few pics from the last couple of months. This isn't my daily anymore due to having a work car for now so it doesn't see much driving time anymore. Still love it though, and put a set of SSV Thunders on it last week, which changes up the look nicely. Down the track it will have new wheels again, as I have a showtime shortened IRS kit, but I haven't decided what I want on it when that goes in yet.

Tucking, it was parked on a hill...with 2 rbs and 2 gearboxes in the back.

Its on the to do list. Really just don't want to take the bumper off again to do it.
