Labelled my front brakes this morning.

Looks nice. Where did you pick up the Brembo labels? Are they made to take the heat w/o peeling?

 

[kevin4052002]

I picked them up off of eBay. I doubted they would be able to stand up to the heat by themselves, so I threw about 10 coats of VHT Gloss Clear Caliper Paint over them. I won't be heartbroken if it doesn't work, nothing some sandpaper can't fix.

Really enjoying the Pro-Kit stance!

Tuned by Steeda! This thing is an animal! Great tune. Idles very sedately, revs fall through the range freely (better than stock). Love it!

Now that's what we like to hear!

After a couple hundred miles and an alignment, I measured the fender heights to see how far the Pro-Kit dropped:

Front: 28.5" to 27.5"
Rear: 28.5" to 27.5"

Exactly what I was looking for.

Diode Dynamics

HP11 LED reverse light installed. Looks great. Took 5 seconds.

These have finally arrived and will be put on tomorrow. Lighting really changes the apparent color of these wheels. Loving them.

Outside, sunset

Covered patio, with flash

I love these wheels if I was to change mine out I would go after these.

I can't wait to see them on the car.

Preview. Car is dirty. Front center caps don't fit. 5mm spacers ordered. Photoshoot to follow.

TireRack was very, very accommodating. They will be sending me packing materials and I will return these wheels on their dime.

I've already ordered a replacement set of the same wheel, except for a +30mm offset instead of +38mm. Let the waiting begin...again.

 

[kevin4052002]

I received my replacements in the correct offset, but one was damaged. This was one of the three places it was damaged in addition to two areas around the lip (also scratched to bare metal).

Thankfully, Tire Rack dispatched me a replacement the next day. So close! At least they fit correctly now. They also notified me of some incoming gift cards for my troubles, so not all is bad.
