Message	By the way...those do look sharp as hell. I may just take mine off the car now to do them right. I already broke the line loose a little so I am going to have to bleed them anyway. What did you do about the pistons? Did you just leave them in and the chemicals don't hurt them? Did you paint them inside and out and just mask off the pistons?
