I do see the flaws that come with not removing the pads, but like pete said, they're comin off. I'll be honest and admit that I also don't think peter and i are excatly qualified to disconnect the brakes entirely. I wouldnt feel safe doing that, and I'm pretty sure he doesnt want me futzin with his brakes mechanically either. not every mod on every car has to be done and held up to a ridiculous standard.i really dont see how this degrades car modifiers as a whole. we're not ruining anything, nor are we making the car hideous, ridiculous or unsafe. most people wont be able to tell how we painted the calipers. they'll just see that they were painted, and comment on whether or not they like the color.merry christmas,ArinPS- sorry for the rant pete</blockquote>
