Very Nice. Not sure on the theme though. Maybe I'm not one to say cuz I love the B n W theme. This just throws me off a bit. I understand its Carbon Fiber and a track car but it just seems like a car you see that's been in an accident and they replaced the damaged parts with another car. Brakes are squeaking hard so it may need brake pads too.

The Carl's Jr. cover in the trunk might be the most random thing I've ever seen in a car. lol

I think with the right numbers... a few sponsor stickers... it might look pretty cool blowing down a straightaway (as long as the person was fast), but no way would I prowl around town looking like that...

Why do you say that?


Looks like an awesome deal to me. Personally I'd paint it to look OEM, but it definitely has the right parts.

Negative on the brakes. It has been converted over to steels, and the race pads are extremely noisy. I know, because I have done it to mine and there's nothing that can be helped about it except change to a softer street pad. Mine squeal like no other until I stop hard, then the noise goes away.

Easiest solution, and cheapest, is to wrap it completely like what I did. The weight savings are nice. Fenders aren't much difference, but hood, roof, doors, and trunk lid are a lot less. Russ (FusionofIdea's) has done this to his car and is far more knowledgeable about this sort of thing.

With under 4K miles its definitely a smoking deal for a ready to go track car. It looks like well over $30k in pars alone... If you look at the under car pics it looks like it had a off track excursion at some point.

The Carbon Brakes are gone, anyone that says that steel one are better doesn't know how to use them. The brakes are the best part of these cars

Ad says 19's, so I'm going to say yes. Nobody makes knockoff's in 19's.

I disagree, having tracked with both. My Girodisc's have worked just as well for me as the CCM's did, at SIGNIFICANTLY less cost. I have braked hard with both setups on my track days, and have no complaints with the steel's.

This can be debated back and forth all day, although I don't see anyone else in here saying steel's are better so not sure why you even said that? They are far better economically. I'll take my $400 a rotor, and $600 for all pads over $1200-1500 per OEM rotor and $1400 for OEM pads, thanks.

Edit: Keep in mind, this is from my own personal experience. Am I the leading authority? Definitely not. I AM content with my decision, though. Car still stops on a dime without fade when I push that pedal down.
