Latest update:
This weeks addition:
Dixcel 12-slot HST rotors front and back
Project Mu Teflon/Stainless braid brake lines
Smoothed and 2pak custom colour painted OEM Calipers





The last shot shows a truer colour representation, its not the orangey gold gordy Subaru Brembo colour, more of a brass/slight copper beige mica.
Rolling shots soon...

This is the EXACT Gold colour I am looking for! Did you buy the paint kit online or local to you?

And don't worry, I'm in Texas...we won't run into each other! LOL!

I'd have that double checked.
