Got your text, bro. Sorry, I was driving home from the office and I go into full daddy mode when I get home.

Looks good, and the final transformation is gonna be ridonkulous.

Do you get free big macs with those Ronald McDonald calipers?

All I have to say: either it's really going to work. . .or it may be an epic fail (well maybe not epic) - there was only one way to find out

So I know I started the other thread but to get them powder coated they'll need to get broken down... Does anyone offer rebuild kits for them?

I'm some time off from it as I don't even own the car yet but have a pretty long list of visual mods I want to get done while minimizing down time.

Only reason - I was under the impression that they were painted from factory. . .

Here's red, yellow, and black cleared from Brembo's website. . .Fortunately, the whole car is black - like I said, it's either going to really work or be a "fail" - I'll just change them if it doesn't work.....

I like the brembo pic, but your stickers are more of a goldish orange. Bright fly yellow would look good.
