Smile Rotora BBK Installed - Exterior Done!

Recent picture of the car completed on the exterior. Time to work on the stereo and install the LuxLink.

That looks great.

Something I have always wondered about, how expensive are replacement parts for BBK kits (obviously the prices vary from brand to brand)... but in general, are replacement pads or rotors alot more expensive than say replacement pads/rotors for Supra bbk or LS400 bbk?

Very very nice, well done perhaps one day I'll see it in person, now that I am living in Florida. More pics, please. Rotors and wheels really set off the the body kit and the rest of the car. You done good.

Thanks guy for the kind words. Yes I did the BBK install myself, it wasn't too difficult. I've done everything myself w the exception of the bodykit paint n install. The coilovers took long but not hard. The intake was cake and the exhaust was easy. Now to tackle the electronics. More pics later, needs a wash since it's been parked outside for a few weeks.

Good luck with the Luxlink. Any chance you are doing a DIY on the LL?

Good luck anyway. Great looking car.

I don't think I have the patience to do a DIY write up for the LL. I believe the instructions are out there and I heard the maker is very helpful. I'll let u know how it goes when I have time to tackle it.
