Thanks Blue, as stated before looking forward to seeing your Shine parts painted/installed.

Lol to each his own, thanks Brandon.

Bahaha thank as always for the help as well John.

Definitely was way too liberal with the brake cleaner after install and forgot to grease the pads (it was about 1am when we finished) so I'll be going back in and greasing them properly asap.

Nice pickup on the brakes! How do they feel vs the stockers?

Feels a little better than stock under normal braking and much better under hard braking. They will also help the fight against brake fade (compared to OEM) out at the track which is most important to me

Refined my bumper "tuck" with a Dremel and painters tape





The trim is very subtle from normal angles, I like the result and retained the lower mounting points

Nice! That's a creative alternative to the standard bumper tuck. Came out great.
