Looks great. Color is sweet. Post more pics when it's all put together.

Looks like a really thorough job, and I can appreciate that a lot. Just for saving future headaches, I would lose the drilled/slotted rotors and just use OEM blanks though.

Looks like you came along way and work looks like a lot of time was spent on the car. Nice.
