Looks nice. My Vibe's the same (Salsa) with the same wheels. Is that just red paint, and did you spray or brush?

How much was the kit, and did you do the drums in the back as well?

And thank you for not painting your drums red.I can take black glossy drums, or maybe even silver... but that's a stretch on most cars, it depends on the rims.Anywho - they look great.

I gotta agree...those red drums don't look too bad.Gloss black might be better, but red doesn't suck
