Very nice! The red lettering on the plates really puts it over the top.

I feel like some red or black license plate frames certainly wouldn't go amiss either.

EDIT: After ogling the pictures more, it occurred to me that red on the front and black on the back might work nicely.

Please…I get super stoked when new towels are purchased too. As much as I wash mine, you can never have too many! 😂😂

I think the front is a little higher because they know the extra weight up front with the bigger engine will eventually cause some sag and even out with the rear.

Mine has been leveled since installation. It's been 1 month now.

BBK kit completed this weekend. Took her out and got the pads bedded. There was a strange sound I never heard before with the windows open.. turns out it’s just the slotted rotors! This is my first time driving with brakes this big and slotted. Looking forward to putting some kms on them!

I had the same reaction lol. Even my slotted rotors on the BBK on my RC350 didn’t make this noise. Something about the TY3 slot pattern that’s noisy. But it’s only noticeable going 0-5 mph in a parking lot with the windows down lol

Definitely, the problem is that I work all day and the days are getting short, I promise to take some better pictures when I get a chance! They are definitely noticeable from a distance. Maybe not quite the same pop as the RCF caliper colour, but I'm really happy with the look.

the brace never utilizes AVS, but the car can utilize AVS w/ the Tom's strut tower brace installed
