Congrats! I too just finished my own brake job last week with the same Raybestos rotors from Amazon and Wearever ceramic pads complete with a full flush. I also painted my calipers with VHT burnt copper while I had the car on jack stands.

Glad to see another F in the Hampton Roads area. Hope to see you around sometime especially now that the weather is finally getting warmer.

Installed a muffler delete setup. Just the mufflers for now, kept the cats. It sounds like a muscle car now. Very loud but tones down when you're cruising except at 2k rpm on the highway haha. Kept my stock axle back in case I decide to go back or need to pass future inspections.

Delete the 2nd cats and you'll never go back. The sound is on another level

Unrelated to my car but I want it to be the future replacement. Drove a GTR this morning at the Charlotte Speedway exotic driving event. I was the fastest among a Porsche 997, 2 gallardos, and a Ferrari F430.
The GTR was very very comfortable and easy to handle, the power is crazy and so smooth. I love that car.

De-badged. Took off the "Lexus" and "IS". Covered the three holes with vinyl stickers painted to match
