The decals came back great, but it looks like I set the size just a bit small. Will still use for now. Taped one on to line up location...

That's a beautiful blue. That decal is going to look good against that color.

I suppose I should add the pictures of the custom badges I had made to replace the side badges and dash badges. They actually look better in person than in pictures. Gives the car a more premium look.
Very much looking forward to getting thsese. Hopefully the "lifetime" brakes is correecct. I got both types of pads so will swap for track use. Which Pads have you been running and hows it been after a few months?Got a few things done on the car. Finally installed the RacingBrake CCB rotors, which give the car a more exotic appearance I think.

One of our forum members has already done an excellent how-to for the install, so rather than duplicate his efforts here's a link to his install:
The factory front rotors weigh 20 lbs 10.4 oz, and the RB CCB fronts weigh 14 lbs 8.6 oz for a weight savings of 6 lbs

The factory rear rotors weigh 17 lbs 3.8 oz, and the RC CCB rotors weigh 11 lbs 8.8 oz for a weight savings of just under 6 lbs.

Driving Impression:
Car steers easier, especially for left-right-left-right type of manuevers. Feels just a bit lighter on its feet; picks up speed quickly, especially once you reach 3k rpm. Braking is very smooth and linear, there's no sudden grab like the factory brakes have. This allows for very precise application of the brakes. No squeaking. I completely cleaned the wheels inside and out before putting them back on the car, and in the picture above, that's how clean they still are after the rotor/pad bedding in process, and driving around a few hours with them. With the factory brakes, the wheels are dusty by the time I reach the end of the street. Very happy with them. At my age, these are lifetime brakes. I'll never need to do a pad change again.

The street pads that came with the set, and I couldn't be happier. Braking is very linear, no squeal, and I can't tell you how nice it is to not have my silver wheels covered in brake dust all the time. There's virtually no dust on the wheels even after weeks of driving.
this is great. I'm going to get it in the spring. Please let me know if you run into any issues!

I've been using the Antigravity battery for 2 1/2 years now with no problems whatsoever.
That’s great. Is it the one GRP sells?
