To help get over me only having 3 center caps I improvised I bought chrome tuner lugs nuts and painted my calipers, hubs, and drums metallic silver this morning. I just took off all three center caps. I think it turned out good. In the process I broke two wheel studs one on each side of my front hubs. I’m planning on getting cross drilled and slotted front rotors and stainless steel brake lines along with pads in the near future I have this setup on my Maxima, the oe brakes slow my ride down good and stop good I just want the added performance of a better braking system.

I did the silver a long time ago....but after a while youll probably not like it anymore....you can never go wrong with black.
