Any ETA or more info on the final decision? If its just going to be a basic color scheme, like as mentioned, I'll pass. Now a graphite color with red lettering I'd like to see. Thanks.

LOL, that's awesome. I should buy a set and give them to my little girl to play with. Then someday, when she inherits the Z and I buy a GT-R, she can put them on the car. Maybe that's what ST had in mind all along, a brake upgarde that brings families closer, LOL.

^^ The caliper in the color of those spoke would be nice. However I'm also waiting to hear if they will be lighter than the kit available now.

Robert K,
We are still working on this, and have certainly not forgotten about it!

Some of the ideas that were discussed but rejected for this special project include:
1. Pink Hello Kitty edition calipers (we're still mad that those prototype photos got leaked)
2. Heart-shaped slots on the rotor faces
3. 18", 24k gold rotors
4. Diamond encrusted StopTech logos
5. Invisible calipers
6. 73 piston calipers, front and rear (yes, an odd number of pistons)
7. Transforming personal care caliper- turns into a toothbrush, hair brush, or body wash dispenser
8. Parachute in rear calipers for drag race applications

Seriously...
I've been waiting on some special prototypes to be made, and yesterday I put together what will probably be the final specs on the kit. This Limited Edition kit will have 4 or 5 unique features vs. our standard BBK's for the 350Z. It's going to be sweet, and I guarantee you WILL like it.

Why not?!?! If you call right now, I'll even throw in some titanium wheel weights and left-handed muffler bearings for free!
