LOL.....now who is going to be the first
Don't lie, you know you are thinking about it.
Then give yourself about 5 minutes.....then you will look back and say, WTF WAS I THINKING!

PS: No, I was not thinking it since I will need REAL BIG brakes when i drop boost.

I remember a post about these a while back but the name brand was fake, something like bendo or brembos but this seems like Brembo is the one making them if I read that right, If so than thats a dam shame.

Hmmmm....looks like a universal mod. Maybe people at car chat would wanna hear about this, they might think only us GS folks are having all the fun.

this is the most ridiculous thing i've seen since supra spoilers on a civic ...sad thing is a lot of peeps who don't know better (potential safety hazard) are going to buy this...and some **** is gonna get rich off this.

Why do that, when you can have a fake intercooler used as an intake.
