- I've been working on the exterior visual mods, now I'm moving into the performance end of things. I got a great deal on the front strut so i figured I might as well get it now and add it to the collectionI'll have some soon.. the weather here in Florida has been rainy every day and the car has been in and out getting work done to it. Waiting to have most of the stuff on before I do a photo shoot.

Great start to a great car. And the list keeps growing. Can't believe no one else has asked about the wheels yet. What kind and whats the plan there, any pics? I'm going to have my car down to Danny at Slammered hopefully next week or week after to install drop springs and exhaust. Maybe I will end up seeing you there and the build in progress.

- I'll probably be by his shop one day this week I have some stuff sitting there to get installed.As far as wheels, I went with the Incurve IC-S5 silver/machine. I like the way they look in the current finish, but they have a new matte gunmetal finish coming out that I'm going to mount up and see how they look.
Hit me up before you go over to Danny's and I'll try to swing by that day - what exhaust did you go with?

On to the brakes! As far as brakes were concerned, I was going to do a full BBK with larger calipers, but I decided to stick with the Akebono calipers and go with a StopTech Sport Kit upgrade. I went with the drilled/slotted rotors, pads and stainless brake lines. StopTech makes a great product and the rotors really pop behind the wheels!
Removing the OEM brakes:
Nice new rotors installed!

Now, everyone knows you can't just leave the calipers silver.. that is DEFINITELY an unwritten rule.. somewhere! 
I wanted to go with something that you don't always see. Red, Yellow, Orange all so common... I wanted to stand out. After much criticism, I decided to go with a custom Kandy Purple blend. I haven't seen many others with this color and everyone that has seen them in person has really liked it.
Camera phone picture that doesn't do them any justice:
