thanks buddy. Yeh i saw them in rupes section but i actually has a set of taillights the same as marc used to have in my garage. But i priced the tail light wiring looms at mazda and at $80 per loom, ill just keep stock for a little longer.

Hey looks great! Funny that your a Hawks supporter but sticking with a red and black theme! Boo the bombers!!!! I'm a fellow Hawks supporter born and bred... I just picked up an 02 J48 last week in titanium, it's got chromw 18's on it which have been chewed majorly by the gutters...
I really want red brake calipers, where did you get them from and how much? Did you fit them yourself?

generally you just use heat resistant paint and spray them

pretty sure thats what went on with these ones

Lachlan · 09-03-2010, 10:17 PM

Yeh mate, as mikey said, just heat resitant paint, jacked the car up and masked and sprayed! Go the Hawks!

Lachlan · 20-06-2011, 05:55 PM

Just thought id let everyone know im still alive as is my car. Almost sold it for a work ute, but then got offered a van from work and the sp20 has since sat in the garage. Went and sat in it the other day and just cant bring myself to get rid of it. So the money splurging begins again. Keep and eye out for updates soon!!..

marcs_sp20 · 20-06-2011, 06:23 PM

Good to hear your keeping it mate, wondered why you were interested in parts lately

Lachlan · 20-06-2011, 06:31 PM

Haha, good observation Marc!..

Justin-sp20 · 22-06-2011, 08:49 PM

Dude that red on the interior looks sweet! Did you think about doing the door handles also ?

Lachlan · 22-06-2011, 08:55 PM

Thanks Justin!

I did consider the handles but because of the regular usage i thought the paint would wear too much..

Lachlan · 24-06-2011, 07:32 PM

Thinking about possibly getting new rims? Thoughts? Maybe MPS rims same as mad mat or hr racing pegasus in the dark/ titanium grey...

Lachlan · 24-06-2011, 08:30 PM

Although my car with 19" cx7 rims looks pretty sick!

SP-20-DB · 25-06-2011, 01:37 PM

Looks fat man. but why u wnat to change ur rims?

Lachlan · 25-06-2011, 01:52 PM

Not a definite, just a maybe. Thing ive found with black rims w/ chrome lip is that they always look smaller than what they are.. Maybe once i lower it, it might look different..

SP-20-DB · 27-06-2011, 09:13 AM

Yer maybe i had the same thing with my 18s they looked tiny. Ill be uploading some pics tonite.

mynameisdaniel · 27-06-2011, 05:48 PM

Lower it first. Always looks different lowered, even 16s can look good if you go low enough

Ben · 06-07-2011, 07:27 PM

Very nice! Do the 18's give it a rough ride? I want wheels for mine, but not sure if i want to go 18's...

Lachlan · 06-07-2011, 08:53 PM

I find the ride to be fine and i have worn springs and struts. Once i replace those it will be even better!
