Haha... yeah I see what you mean. On a Tahoe, it would kinda make it look like Meatlug from How to Train Your Dragon

Or like t-rex arms lol

HAHA! Yeah that's probably more accurate.

The Hoe logo is fun, but needs brushed or blue or white or black bowtie. No gold. Get the dip.

Yea I threw it on real quick . The gold doesn’t look horrible but I want the bow tie silver to match the rear logo

Since I wire brushed and cleaned the frame up in the rear when I did the free travel mod I desperately needed to do it to the front. While I had it up in the air I just took off all 4 tires and rotated them. Painted the rear calipers at the same time (+40hp). Also wire brushed the rotor for cleaner look against the newly painted calipers .
For the front I got used nnbs brakes. You can see the size difference I the pic

Applied the same rust transformer then followed with rubberized undercoating.

Cleaned the inside of the wheels
Cleaned the inner fender liners like I did with the rear

Painted the nnbs front calipers. Used a “ford” color ....shhhhh don’t tell anyone . Matches pretty close tho.

I was gonna use plastidip and 2k clear but I found this color in engine high heat paint so I gave it a try
Plastidip on calipers video

Front end looks really good, especially with the front bumper color matched. How'd you do the bumper again? Rattle canned it? I forgot.
