Default Red LS & TT TRD style -- PICS --

I painted my calipers red and slapped a TRD decal. Does this make me a poser? At least I didn't put Brembo

What do you guys think?

Yeah, I sprayed clearcoat on top of the decal... I wasn't going to until I read some article here on the forums.

Does anyone know what kind of caliper bolt should I use to install the TT rear calipers? Should I use Supra bolts or my stock bolts?

well take the stock bolts and bolt it up. then look to see if they are protruding and cause any type of interference. there is nothing wrong with shortening bolts if they are too long. put a nut on the bolt first. then take a hacksaw of a cutoff wheel grinder and cut off extra thread. when you go to remove the nut it will restore an threads that may have been cut awkwardly. then put the bolt on the belt sander or equivalent and taper the tip a bit. and you are done

seems like a lot of work but it actually would take about 5 minutes to do.

I think you can use stock bolts with the rear TT calipers. I did with mine...

You only need to use washers up front or order 2 LS bolts for both front calipers. Looks good, can't wait to see your car completed, lots of good stuff in your sig...

Thank you....

I'll use my stock SC bolts for the rear then. I already bought a set for LS bolts from Carson.. really cheap.
