it only has to look good enough for you.

With the wheels you have i also recommend painting your rotors, so they done look rusty
here is what i did with my 03 last year

Go over to Advance Auto Parts and pick up a caliper paint kit for less than $20. It has cleaner, and it is a brush on high heat kit. It has everything you need. I would take the wheels off b/c you won't get the tops and sides of the calipers very well if you don't.
