hey... your car isn't a bad color either. just keep at it like your neptune and you'll probably make it look even that much better than yours and even mine. plus, you probably have more knowledge on the car than i do. lol

I really haven't had a chance to test them out yet since I am still breaking the rotors and pads in. One of my team members told me that you have to ride the brakes slowly and then sometimes slam on them hard but not like a skid stop hard. that is to warm them up so that the brake pads and rotors get a feel for each other basically. Kind of confusing. lol. Ill let you know once they are broken in how they feel.

I also have drilled/slotted -- they work well under heavy braking but the pulsing takes some getting used to.

Another update... Just ordered the RKSport Front Bumper. Going to order some new fogs, cuz the current ones are cracked and trying to get the 02-04 black housing head lights. I also installed a nice set of Cipher Auto Racing Seats. I will post pics of the seats in a bit after i load the pics up. The seats hold up great for the price I paid for them.

i know! i want that bumper too. whats odd is that there sites out there that list the RKSport bumper and not sure if they have it or not... but the only bumper we can get is the PsychoVibe kit.

So I am thinking about these wheels. Just debating whether I should order them powder coated Bronze or get them matte black. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...a0286Probably going to go KSport Bag kit, if I can find it. I have found it under the Matrix a while ago but I don't know what happened. My car is paid off, finally, in Dec. That means, MORE SPLURGE MONEY! lol
