I don't know if you're trying to keep up with me or if I'm trying to keep up with you now LOL.

All I've done so far is order parts, nothing is in my possession, very little has been installed

Your sn should be brianballin87 lol, I do like the color choice with the black car and yellow calipers, can't wait to see everything put together on the car once you get everything.

sweet!!! that's one thing i regret. i didn't have a choice (1 of first 2 kits ever made) but if i could do it all over again, i would have done yellow as well (or some other special colors). it's hot.

Ok brianlin87, you are really going in on your build, I think it's time to change your screen name to 'Ballin87'!!!!

Looking forward to seeing all put together.

yeah, i want to do something about the rear brakes too; and because Brembo doesn't have an off the shelf application, I may attempt something similar to the Brembo Safety Orange or something purely custom:

thanks guys, I'm hoping that when everything arrives it flows as well as it looks on paper right now. Execution seems to be the only remaining variable for my build right now.

thanks for the compliment, I actually came from an Acura CL with the Modulo TL kit on it, but it's basically the same thing over there on Acurazine.

Slow down? I need to catch up!

Seems like everyone's car on here has more parts installed than my car does. My car is sitting in my garage with stock wheels on that are too small for my brembos to be installed behind (waiting for my next set of wheels to be built) and i have zero aero on my car right now.

My palette from Japan needs to hurry up. This is depressing.

I would say you got a good package set up here. It will take some time to get all of the work done but just imagine how awesome it will be to have it all done, wash it, and take it out for some pics to post on CL
