Do you have a brake kit? Or just painted calipers...

I was wondering if you needed a spacer for brake clearance with your GT-3s. I have the same wheels(centers) and will be building them and would like to take into consideration your offsets into my build. Mine look to be very low disc all around.

Nice car, and thanks for any additional info!

They're just stock painted calipers. All of my faces are the same disc type. They look low disc to me.

Perfect. My disc size look low to me also- this will really help me determine barrel/lips size for offsets. Thanks!

Car was dead silent with the stock mufflers. I'm pleased to say that the obx mufflers are not that much louder. Car is still pretty silent when the car idles and isn't too loud while driving. Doesn't make my car sound like a race car, but that's fine with me.

Since I'm in here, might as well show my new project. I've been working on making a small carbon fiber splitter for my front bumper. Just laid the carbon today. It's not perfect, but came out pretty good for my first time.

Installed the bootleg center caps I made since I can't use werfen caps Got the carbon fiber splitter installed today. It's not perfect, but I don't care since I made it from scratch. Not every one will like it, but I do and that's all that matters.

Some better pics. The clearcoat on the splitter is messed up. I need to figure out how I'm going to polish it.
