Josh nice build! One of my GS owner friends here in Atlanta says he's communicated with you a time or two.
Hey where did you get the 1st Driving/Fog lamps with the clear Lens from? The one you have under the pics showing sitting on the arm rest compartment listed as : Mod: F-Sport Foglight Conversion + Black Out Accents (Roof, Trims, Emblems etc...) + SKP Style Front Lip.
Are you still using them, or did you get rid already? If still have I would be interested in them. Where did they come from? Thanks.

Top notch build. I am very jealous of your brakes. My AWD F-Sport brakes, while consistent and strong, do not like the amount of heat I ask them to put with and protest by depositing in a fairly uneven manner in the rear.
Is that the Aimgain Type I diffuser?

The rear GSF BBK requires a bracket which I purchased from @350phi on instagram. Considering the costs of the F-Sport rotors, I wish I did the GSF bbk conversion alot sooner.
Caliper Bracket - $280.00
Calipers
47730-0W150 - $336.32
47750-0W150 - $336.32
47830-0W110 - $251.16
47850-0W110 - $251.16
Front Caliper Bolt Hardware (need 2x sets, FL + FR)
04947-0w020 - $30 ea / $60.00
Rotors:
Front: BREMBO 09.C266.21 & 09.C266.11 - $136.00 ea / $272.00 pair
Rear BREMBO 09.C181.21 & 09.C181.11 - $110.00 ea / $220.00 pair
Pads:
Front: POWER STOP Z231440 (Z23-1440) - $40.79
*No hardware included (hence the - 04947-0w020 above)
Rear: POWER STOP Z231807 (Z23-1807) - $40.79
*Rear hardware IS included
Brake Fluid - $15.00+
Total cost: ~ $2100.00 roughly (too lazy to add lol)
Into the future, the consumables are rotors and pads only, which are a fraction of the cost of OEM F-sports.

The diffuser is an aimgain style diffuser, which I believe was made or sold from Ikon motorsports. I went cheapy on the lip kit because the GS is my DD and they tend to get destroyed with the car being low haha.
