Hahaha that jack stand has been with me since high school. It is so old it is actually retro, I once saw an old B/W movie my dad had and saw one of those hanging around someone's garage. I will probably sand it and paint it.


Thanks for all the comments guys, tomorrow I will take more pics of the fronts and the mess we have on the engine.

I got my kit from Everything G35 on an inventory sale. Shipping was somewhat expensive but since my pads and rotors needed a change I figured buying this kit makes sense since I sold the older calipers and rotors for 800$ the real appproximate cost for this kit is 1000 which is fairly good for a complete brake upgrade.

Where are you located in PR? I am from the West (Aguada).

Sounds like you got a good deal. You also git good dough for your stocks. I assume they were Brembo's. I live in San Juan but I go to Aguadilla and Mayaguez on business about once a month. I'll look for your car. Mine is, to my knowledge, the only laser red 05 with 20" Kyalami's here.

Looks great!

Is the "Akebono" painted on? In either case, I wonder how it would withstand high temperature (i.e. tracking the car).

The logos are spray painted using the same caliper paint. They were painted using negative stickers.

Here are some more pics
