    I pieced it together myself
    Designed some carrier spacers myself and had them made

    Thats the thing, if your going to buy stuff you have to be prepared to get your hands dirty, be prepared that things wont fit. Some places wont even fit it as they will tell you its not engineered and not designed for the car.

    I gave up, trying to get the brakes and exhaust finished first. When the exhaust is done I can do some logging and GIAC will work on my tune

    Ok, so I finally got the front and back brakes on, even tho both sets did not fit.
    Still have to clear coat the red calipers i have done, so the black ones are on for now

    Here is how they look through the BBS's
