Default My new brakes!

Upgraded my brakes last weekend. Went with slotted/dimpled (Thanks Adam @ spp), Hawk HPS pads, and some G2 silver paint and black audi rings to make it all look even better. Here's some pics:

It was all DIY. G2 caliper paint is a brush on, so I didn't even disconnect any hoses.
