Got round to doing a shoot of my own car at last :D
Had my mr2 for 4 years now and I have loved all the ups and downs of ownership!
It is now finally how I want it, so I thought I would take the time to do some pictures of it, and show it off :)

Daniel had his black 20" Rays Gram Lights 57FXX powder coated gold with a mirror clear finished at Custom Functionz down here in White Plains, Md. In the sunlight you can really see the metallic flake.
What's that I see? Custom brake rotors!
After creating custom wheels and tires, I couldn't forget the last details. I tested using various Lego pieces for the rotors, but I didn't find anything that I really liked. So, I had to make my own. For my first design, I made these slotted, but I can of course create other rotor designs.
For the calipers, I really wanted to stick with a Lego piece, so I can use their colors. I tried so many pieces. I tested the curved 1x2 jumper, but it was too big. I saw @3dsupercarbricks use the claw piece which is really clever, but it would have been tough to attach to the rotors. I then found the ingot piece, which is what I am using. I like how it has a taper at the top of each corner, which gives it a rounder look. It's not the perfect representation of a caliper, but I am happy with how it looks.
The size of the rotor and caliper fit really well into the wheel. However, I'm thinking of future compatibility with other wheels, so I'm going to test fitting smaller rotors.
