How do you like the DWS Conti's? They are an all season right? I looked at them before i bought 555's ....If I drove it all year round I would have bought them for sure . How's the grip in the warmer weather?

Painted the unfinished rear calipers and bracket with black caliper paint. Installed new ceramic pads and I think the setup look pretty good with the new rotors. Just finished painting the fronts as well, installed new ceramic pads, installed new front rotors, and ordered new Brembo decals. Really took my time, blue taped everything, prepped them well, and laid down five coats. They came out nice. Just waiting on the new decals. Pics coming. Most important aspect to painting the calipers properly was the prep work. It's all in the prep. The fronts came out even better than the rears. Had to wetsand the Brembo logo off so it would not show through the new paint.

Sweet, I thought about getting the big wing so I could see if I liked it. Any pics? I would like to have both if they use the same mounting points. Post a pic if you can!

Sorry for the crappy pics. I only have a PAS camera and I don't know crap about lighting.
Here's a pic of where the top blade is coming away from the side support:

No.
btw: I have noticed some spots were the SRTC is doing a little fading. I store my car in my garage and I wax it bi-weekly, but I have to park it in the sun while I'm at work. I'm gonna keep an eye on these spots and I'll let you guys know how things progress, but it looks like they're all on the ground effects. All the paint that is on the metal seems fine.

UPDATE: Very happy with the new head lights. Not only is the inside of the head light black, the lens is smoked as well! That is what I was looking for, a non-clear, smoked lens. DEPO is the brand name.
UPDATE: Smoked tail lights are in! Best combo of headlight and tail light IMO.

Very nice car, and great color 
Can I ask what kind of taillights those are?? They look great.
ZZP is coming out with a direct bolt on Borg Warner EFR series turbo, they are hoping to have it available by late fall. It is a stainless steel housing, ceramic ball bearing unit that spools like stock but will make 400+WHP without an issue. Maintains all the stock turbo connections, so its a direct bolt in, no modifications required.

Subscribers.... Wheels are next! I have not ever been a debadger, but there seems to be an abundance of emblems on the rear trunk lid. What emblems should I remove?
