      Added a 1x1 CF lip. Matches the CSL diffuser. Really wish the Eventuri weave was 1x1.

            I really should start a build thread...
            Awesome man. I want to do exactly the same thing.

              Highly recommend KBS Coatings 3-step system:



              It's like POR15 but more solids in the paint. So far I've done the subframe, trailing arms, diff, toe plates and the chassis/exhaust hangers. Stuff is rock hard but pliable. Key is prep work like any paint. But for an avid DIY-type without professional equipment, hard to beat.

                  I finally got all core bits for my front brakes sans the pads, which are in transit.

                  Excuse the gray calliper bracket, photo taken before installing the Reboot Engineering bracket and pad pins screws on the one on the right.

                  I hope to be able to install these this weekend, and I am still to complete the rear 996 Brembos (pending paint, stickers, clear coat and reassembly of pistons and seals). I will post a photo of all the parts soon.

                  Edit... the front kit!

                    The old girl is in the shop getting rod bearings, engine mounts, FCABs, SS brake lines, RBF600, and an alignment. Wife is thrilled.

                      Are these able to be used on an E46? For some reason I thought I remembered seeing these calipers were the wrong bias. Maybe I’m wrong?

                        Finally picked up my OE CSL trunk from the body shop today and got it mounted up. Bought it back in January, so it was about time.

                          Nice! I really like the rear non-CF look with the big SS pipes 👍

                            Very nice, I have one comming but it might be as late as mid-august as they are a backorder item. Kind of nervous how much paint will cost as well as if they will need to paint match the rear quarters and/or bumper.

                              Thanks! I might go for a CF diffuser at some point, don't mind rocking this look for now.

                                Thanks! Your patience will be rewarded. I think the trunk really sets off the look of the car. I got quotes ranging from $350 all the way to $1400 for paint. A fair price is around $500 in my opinion if you want a quality job done using good paint like PPG.

                                I didn't have the paint blended into the rear quarters, and would advise against doing so. I just gave the body shop my fuel door as a paint sample and had them paint match it as best as they could.
