Because he thought it was a caliper, and he read on the internet that that was cool. Not bright enough to realize that you can't SEE the pads, and probably won't see much of the rotor through those wheels.. especially when the car is engulfed in flames, wedged under a bus due to inablilty to stop.
Hopefully the only one he kills is himself.

That's funny......Page 2 his reply
"whats so wrong with the paint it will rub off where the pads rub.
i painted the pads so they match the rest of the brakes."

Famous last words..........

Oh man! what a "smart" move, an inspiration to all of us on how to be cool.

Ah well, before I rant to much, the errors are easily fixed with some acetone and some elbow grease.

The kid prolly accomplished what he set out to do: Stir up everyone on the internet and get them up on their soapboxes. I think everyone fell for it Hook, Line, and Sinker
