Yea, just email sales@k1motorsport.com and I'm sure Tom will give you a quick response. If I'm not mistaken, phone calls just go to a general voicemail if you need to leave a message and receive a response later.

I think he's asking because in your sig it looks metallic.

About k1, they're still on business. Just ordered a part from them Sunday and it arrived yesterday. Email is the best way to get in contact with them

Oh don't even sweat it since you've got loads of work right now. Which ones was the wrong order the front or my rear? I forgot. Ill order them don't worry.

I actually called TWS and they said that they'll do the install for 4 lines for $110+brake bleed.
