I'm going to say right now I have no plans, but we all know how that goes - 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 collection

I'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.

Thanks.. Braves fan as well! - 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?

Hey, those are some great looking wheels. I bet they look awesome on your car! I went with the TopSpeed exhaust. Heard good things and it sounds great from the video clips I have seen. And you can't go wrong with the price. My Tein springs should be here this week on Wednesday according to UPS tracking info. So I'm hoping that Danny will be able to fit me in on Friday. If not it will have to be next week sometime. Looking forward to meeting you there mayne and checking out your ride!

Nice! Did you get in on the group buy?? I almost got in on it but decided to go another route. Would love to hear it in person, hopefully we can link up @ Danny's.

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:

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:

That kandy purple will really contrast and complement your PG sedan very nicely.

Thank you. I had seen 350z's with purple wheels on silver cars.. so I figured the purple calipers against a silver car would look great and good thing I was right
