if by standing out of theusual lightwegiht bling you mean volks then thats fine, there are iforged, asantis... many other brand si woudl have rather gone.. but...welll anyways thats getting of topic and putting opinions of your wheels...

do what makes you happy man... i think most of us here think you shoudl keep the hood but its up to you

 

ive had HRE's and two other sets of works, and other multipeice wheels, I think ive almost covered the full spectrum on wheels, lol. I'll eventually change the wheels out, since im a wheel *****, but for now, i dig these. They are rare, and im pretty sure im one of the only people with these in Z fitment

I would have loved the cf hood with my gunmetal meister s1, but those are long gone

 

To the OP. I don't know to much about Big brake kits but to me those rotors seem smaller compared to the other massive rotors I've seen on other cars? I mean the brake caliper is huge, but the rotors seem smaller for the size of the caliper.

 

the rotor is larger in diameter. they are 13.6" rotors. the surface area of the rotor doesnt have to be huge. But, there are some that are larger than this. These are a very mild bbk, compared to some of those other ones out there.

 

nice brakes! those were on my Z

 

did you guys hammer the rotors off on the black part? one of em is beat up

 

Where did you get the brakes from? Glad you decided to keep the Z.

 

got the brakes from another forum member... which he got from "firstz" ^^ up there. lol.

 

NO!
There mine now and you can't have them!
(stomping away like a little 7 yearold)

anyways they wont fit your car anymore. I had to run a 5mm spacer just so they cleared my Brembos and the gap now is no more then 3mm of clearance between the rim and caliper.

 

hahaha so your modding again eh?

 

Brakes FTW, nice benny, now you need my V2 front bumper, sides, and rears.

LOL

 

i never thought id like the oem hood but i like urs

 

sick brakes !

 

Im usually not a fan of polished wheels, but the works look good... hood looks good too... your car looks similar to mine but in a different color... ive got cf hood, varis, CF v1, and black reflectors.

 

love those brakes!!!
