Wanted to color match. Seems like everyone these days have red, black, silver, yellow. Trying to keep the entire car in same color scheme with blacks and whites.

6 front, 4 rears. Ordered them the day they came out. Took too long at the body shop getting painted though, else I would have had them 2 weeks ago.

Not bad bro! I haven't put my D2's on yet I've had them forever. I'm not sure if I like the caliper color I got so I've put off putting them on. What size are those rotors? They look a little smaller than the ones I got. Are you worried about keeping those calipers clean?? White will probably cake brake dust quick but atleast your wheels allow you to position them in a way that you can really get to them w/o a problem. Also props on doing the front and the rear its always a good look, I only got fronts. Watch for squeaking/squealing if this is your 1st set of brembos. What type of pads do you have in those? Planning any interior mods?

He was bored last weekend and put vinyl on the grill. In photos it looks like real CF, ANZ does it look as good live? I'm going to pick up some more CF laminate (from a different source than last time) and try this on mine when my lux grill comes in.

Are those rotors stock size or did you go up in diameter with a new caliper carrier?

Nice upgrade - probably the costliest to date.

Any problems with the E-brake with the rears? Now you need more HP to balance out the increased stopping power

He explains it in this thread. I would love to get a premade template so I could easily cut some CF sheets for this.
