I'm definitely jumping on this just a soon as I get my HKS installed. I hope I can find someone local to a nice job on PCing and I need to track those decals too!

Try to decide rather or not to go wit the Drilled/slotted or stock rotor set up

Red doesn't pop in the pics like it does IRL. Going on a LR coupe tomorrow! Wanted to stay away from red/yellow.....so decided on glossy white.

and the encouragement of the members here

here's the new BBK!

Money pit is right!!! Man this forum is killing me.

I was planning on getting the Akebono kit in the next few weeks... but now I have to get them powdercoated.

These look awesome!!!

I just finished putting them on Sunday, gotta clean her up and will snap some photos tonight....I'm really happy with the looks. I think I still have some air in the lines because pedal is still a bit squishy....will fix that tonight too hopefully!
