If I could, just make one comment other than it's gorgeous....I'm not sure exactly why you are building this car (show, race, whatever), but if you plan on racing, you might want to get a set of 17" rims, too - 18s might make your wheels spin a lot, especially with all that power.....just my opinion, other than that it's awesome!

Thanks for all of the positive feed back guys!
The project including the car is at about $35K right now. I still have to do alot of little things before it starts up. I will try and post more detailed pictures of what I did. I will probably have a lot of questions for you guys too! Thanks for the support! This forum helped me out a lot!

YayeR - I got all 4 Brembo rotors from Mastergrade in California for $240. (866) 424 4549

BigIslandSevens - I painted the rotors and calipers with duplicolor hi-temp paint. I read somewhere on this forum that the brembos rust fast so a coat of paint should solve the problem.

It's gorgeous man, very well done. What are you building it for, yourself? Customer, track, show?

I love the way the gunmetal rims look with a white car, nice contrast. Keep the pics coming!

You did a very good job with the car. I love the paint job. Are you going to keep the car wingless?
Have you dynoed the car?
