Just got my car back from a long road trip up North to Nottingham in the U.K.
Company called BCS worked their magic on my calipers transforming them from a sort of dull peach (originally orange), to a vibrant Kawasaki green.![Cool](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/cool.gif)
I personally think it works spot on now the rims are black, as are the lug nuts. It's all darker colours except the calipers which pop!
![Smilie](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Also worked out posting photos again, so expect more updates on here for sure.
Got the spare dashboard sitting at home ready to go off for flocking, plus should be ordering my RR-Racing supercharger kit any day now.![Cool](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/cool.gif)
Cheers for now guys.![Thumb Up](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)

Looks good, Pete! ![Thumb Up](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
I'd like to have my calipers painted one day (probably in "F" blue).. However, I'm concerned with how quickly lighter colors will look dirty, considering the dusty HC+800 brake pads I use during track day season.. Though, I might just pony up the $$$ to try out Endless MX72 pads next year, which are supposedly less dusty.

Quick update. Dropped car off yesterday with SRD along with my three boxes of goodies to fit my s/c kit. ![Smilie](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Decided we needed another dyno run to see how the headers, tuned intake and remap did.
Figures are at the flywheel, not wheels. Last run on same dyno netted me 418.1, so 56 gain from PPE headers, tuned intake and remap.

Did you get the SC shipped over by dhl or something? or did you carry it over yourself?

Kit was shipped over by Simon at RR-Racing in three boxes with FedEx mate.
Import tax, duty, VAT etc was an eye watering experience, but at least it's here and being fitted as I type!
