Thumbs up

Looking good Bubble! Dayum, next time I'll see your car, it'll look totally different from when I last saw it. LOL. You're also getting a new bumper too right?

BTW...I think it would look even better if you can find someone to powdercoat your calipers to match the color of your car.

Yeah, I know what you mean. Modding cars is definitely a VERY expensive hobby. No not yet. Still sitting at ZCar until the rest of my stuff come in. I want to paint everything all at the same time & put it on all at once. No, sorry I have no idea where to get the Veilside V3 hood (that is a shop that actually has it in stock). Did you try contacting Performance? They have one indicated on their site but I'm not sure if they have one in stock. I'm sure having it in stock is the problem you are running into.

BTW...did you just get the front BBK or both front/rear? How does the car look with just a BBK at the front (especially 14")? You planning on upgrading the rears as well if you didn't do them already?

it looks ok. Seem like people are going this route nowadays (just have the front). I might add the rear to it in the near future if the price is right.

Does that rotora 6-piston kit fit under nismo 18's?
Also, I thought that the rotora blue calipers were darker/closer to a DB match? Do they always come that light blue color?

you can ask them to match color for you but it will cost more. I think it will fit since 18 is the minimum requirement.
