Unfortunately the seller for this is totally unreliable and has scammed many members on this forum. I had to eventually file a chargeback with my credit card to get this item. The product is excellent seller is not. Just search carbon fiber mudguard in the 4GS search.

Added lower door moldings, similar to LS style. Thank to @eddie420 for the inspiration! I wrapped them in CF to match my door handles/spoiler/roof/bumper.

Any reasons why you're running tires so narrow..like the stretched look? You can easily fit 245/275 tires with no or little rubbing.

Well I bought the wheels this way and the tires are still new. I might go 235/255 when I get new tires. I do like the stretched look.

I did some brake work today, thanks to my brother in law friend that allowed me to use his shop in NJ.


These rotors were rusted on solid on all sides.

The oem original front rotor.

Same for the rear rusted

The oem original rear rotor.

Stoptech 939.44013 - Front Disc Brake Pad and Rotor Kit

Stoptech 939.44512 - Rear Disc Brake Pad and Rotor Kit

Painted both front and rear calipers gold

I installed HPS air intake with F sport air filter, and for some reason it sounds quieter thanks stock, i miss the roar of the stock.



I love the new look i must say, also i did about 100 miles on the new pads and rotors and no squeaking at all, hope it last

Looks good. I have same StopTech rotors but Drilled & Slotted. I had horrible squealing with those Posi-Quiet 105 Ceramic pads. Switched to Akebono, much better. Still a tiny bit of squeal when cold in the morning, but once it warms up, super quiet. After first wash, did your new rotors rusted again. I'm already getting rust in the drilled holes and slots. Tried to use Dremel brush tool to remove them, PITA!!

I only did this yesterday, but i will check for rust after the first wash , the oem ones did show some sign of rust after sitting for a day or two after it rains or when the car got washed and sat out for a day.

I use a leaf blower immediately after a wash to dry up the wheels/rotors to minimize rust and water spotting. Tedious work but worth the effort for nice wheels and brakes.
