Do it dave! I have a used set but for 06 calipers, though i believe only the fronts were changed from 05-06+ so they would prob work alright for the rears.

So I was thinking today about these awesome gas prices (3.95 I saw today) just wondering where everyone goes and where to get atleast 93 octane or more. I'm not looking for 100+ octane I know where to get that.

Just finished working on a fun one. Worked on a Hyabusa that I put led side brake lights and running lights on to a hanging bracket on the fairing. He got some brighter Led aftermarket oem style lights to replace the factory ones. They were a bit too small but had to heat up the housing around the lights to loosen up the adhesive to get them out. The new lights were too small to fit in the holes with the housings that came with it so I pulled apart the old ones and threw them in the factory housings and used a clear hot glue to put them back in, it turned out pretty good, wired them with the existing led's I put in for brake and running lights but also tied them in with the turn signals. snapped a few pics for ***** and giggles.

I think the BP in Lakeville on Cedar has 92 or 93, Greg.

Par, do you think you could do some kind of LED lighting theme inside the car? I kinda like interior glow but not too bright.

Aaron, you and I are not old, just older. BTW, I've been married almost 20 years.

Nice. Now I can update my phone! Thanks, Tommy!


I've got HPS fronts and rears that you're welcome to. If you want any rotors you can have em too. I'm only holding on to the calipers and lines.

I'm with the "old" guys, graduated in 98 and been married almost 6 years. Although I dated my wife for like 8 years before we got married. Slow and steady wins the race...

Stock from an 04.5 with almost 60k miles on them. They're functional but not a ton of life left in them.

I'll just wait a bit before I order a set of slotted rotors for the rear.

Just got back from Lifetime (second time today). Took the boys to the pool and just chilled out. I worked legs this morning, so it was nice to sit in the hot tub.

Nevermind, just googled them. That site's hard to read. Prices look good, though.

rockauto.com, I always look there first for prices on parts. 8 times out of 10 they're the cheapest shipped.
