Exterior:
Rear calipers color matched to front Brembo's (black)
Rotor hats, edges, and vanes painted (silver)
Factory HID headlights (got crazy deal, had to fix one broken clip which is main reason for the radiator extension covers)
2010+ Roush splitter retro-fitted to my CS fascia

Go (woah?)
Hawk HPS pads F&R, better bite and should dust less (factory gt500 pads are horrible dusters)
BMR Driveshaft loop

Took me longest to decide how deep to mount it.. you'll see its a tad short near wheel wells but if I flushed that then the front some areas did not protrude. I used double sided tape and nuts/bolts.. didnt take instal pics, not the prettiest underneath basically put bolts where I could see the splitter & bumper cover overlapped. The hardest one was getting one dead center in that little step up on the lip. I ended up using hole saw to create a hole to get my finger in to put nut on the bolt.

I'm on a roll! Plasti-dipped the trunk lid, didnt come out right (one weird spot with bubbles, and it tore along where I taped it) so I'll have to peel it. But what say you? Don't like it at all, like it flat black, or go black but gloss? (the tail lights are on FYI). Also, blackout the faux gas cap or leave it chrome?
