Default WilWood Custom Painted BBK installed!

Finally had my custom painted Wilwood kit installed! I had original posted some teaser pics here when I first got the kit https://my350z.com/forum/showthread....ghlight=teaser
But now it is DONE! Check it out and let me know your thoughts.

Also, a quick question for those who have this kit, the front SS Lines didn't come with a bracket to tie the down with. It is literally hanging there. Am I missing a part? Right now it goes from the upright straight to the caliper but is rather long and nothing to tie it down to. If I turn the wheel all the way to either side the line looks like it will rub agaisnt the wheel. For now we have used a tie down but this is NOT going to stay like that! Thanx for any advice on this.

Use tie down to abs line. That's how it is. Same thing for mine with brembo Grand Turismo kit.

yeah that was my problem, I couldn't find Ultra Yellow in Powder Coat so I used high temp acrylic same stuff you would use to paint engine parts.

No, I've had my Brembo BBK for almost a year. No issue what so ever. Techniquely, you don't have to tie to abs line and it's still ok. But as precaution, i did tie mine anywyas...SS line has metal layer protection outside, scrubbing won't be isssue...but make sure you check urs for no scrubbing
