Default 2015 GS "build"

Hello. I'm in the process of moding my GS. Bought in 2019. Had a minor wreck. Someone hit me in the back and pushed me into the car in front of me. So, decided was a good time to do mods. Mods planned include the following

- Satin black paint- black gloss on all chrome
- RCF wheels. Powder coated black.
- Black RCF OEM brake Calipers front and back w/brackets- RCF OEM rotors front and back
- 2016 style front bumper conversion

Its a chinese made bumper. I ordered 2 of them. I prefered the look of this one over the one on ebay. I was nervous about buying it but It seems to fit nicely no real gaps that I can see.
I wanted the GSF wheels but I couldn't find them at a reasonable price. And none of the replicas where staggard and I wanted staggard. Found those on ebay not far from me so sccoped them up and got them powder coated. Still came out cheaper than GSF wheels.

I have one for sale. I bought 2 of them from a company in china. I was supper nervous about the purchase but it worked out. It took 3 months for me to get them and I can't find the company page anymore. It was the only conversion bumper style that I liked. This is my ebay listing.

The RCF rear calipers fit the GS without mods?

I believe you need an adapter to make it work.

The front bolts up but you need the larger rotor from the RCF. For the back you need the larger RCF rotor and these brackets from 350phi.

You need the adapter from 350phi like stated. You’ll also need the F rotors from a GSF or RCF. You’ll also have to cut the ‘lip’ of the dust shield so that the new rotor can clear it.
