With the car back from the dealer, I was finally able to do the front brake pads and rotors this weekend. Jeezus, what an easy job. The only thing easier than doing brakes on this car would be putting gas in it. I spend more time cleaning the wheels than I did on doing the brakes.

Inside of the wheels was solid black. I cleaned and polished them and gave them a good coat of wax. Should be good for a day or so now.

I went with Pep Boys ceramic brake pads ($47 for the set) and their OEM rotors ($47 each), so, new front grabbers for about $150 plus about 30 minutes labor.

Driving with no warning lights for the first time in months! Whoo hoo!!
