Looks good. On my calipers when I was done with paint and applied the sticker, I then applied a bunch of thin coats of clear so the stickers have something over them protecting them as well. It did create a small amount of orange peal adding the clear, but I think it'll help longevity. Anyhow just a thought for ya to consider, looks great though.
I will probably hit the calipers with a light coat of clear to keep the decal on better like you mentioned..

Went out and purchased pads and come to find out that the rotors I received were not correct either.....The whole package they sent me...rotors and pads are for a 93 LS400.....
.
Here are some pics for reference that pre 95 rotors will not work....
You can see that the rotors are not big enough by looking at the pads....and how the caliper isnt close enough to rotor hub
Now I have to send this order back and they are sending me out the correct one this time.....sucks to wait another week to receive it..

Well I got the rotor issue squared away with R1 concepts.....The correct 95 LS400 rotors should be here on monday....I opted to go with slotted rotors as I really didnt care for the look of drilled...
Also was able to find a Griffin emblem...clear coat is a little rough but I should be able to refinish it back to looking like new..

nicely done on the alternator. I know I just put a new duralast just so I can get rolling but would have loved to put an Ls400 one in. How much was your Ls400 alterntor with the plug you needed that was EXTRA??
Btw, I picked up a 95 Sc3 a few weeks ago and am totally envious and jealous of your expertise. Can't wait to see your finished product, it will be a mona lisa meets unicorn, I'm sure. here, here man, how about a toast from fresh version of that beer bottle you included in your first few pics.

Thanks.
Finally received the brake rotors and was able to put the car back together after 2 weeks......
Overall pedal feel is much smoother and requires less pressure to engage......Under hard braking the ABS kicks in but I do believe it helps to stop the from high speed with much more ease now
