Lol! Nice! I knew I was going to buy them sooner or later, so I thought I might as well get them while they were 20% off! Did you ever end up PC'ing your calipers with that Grabber Blue powder?

Nah man, not yet. I have the gt500 take offs that are already a nice gloss black. I kinda don't want to mess with them. I am just trying to figure out what I can PC with the GB powder. Actually thinking about some under hood stuff. Not sure yet.

You won't regret getting those calipers PC'd, I'm telling ya! I'm pretty set on CompO on mine whenever I'm done driving it for the winter.


Couple pictures I took yesterday,

That looks absolutely awesome mate. Love it. Got the same planned for mine.

Any more info on the compressors? They look different to the other ones i've seen on S550 installs. Side mounted. Do they have the isolators on too?

Thanks! Sorry I didn't go into more detail on those. They are dual VIAIR 444c Compressors (Black Powdercoat). I was able to move to the mounting brackets from the bottom, to the side holes of the compressor with just an alan wrench. Yes, I also have the isolators attached to the bottom as well. They seem to be working pretty well as it's pretty quiet, but I don't really have a comparison to offer.

I really wanted to do a stealth install to where I could open the trunk and not even know anything was there. I'll upload a picture of the trunk with the cover over everything tonight. Let me know if you want any closer pictures of anything!

Here's some pics I took tonight. Top 2 are with the cover on, retains full trunk storage space. Bottom 2 are with the cover removed. Only Modification I had to do was cut the fuel nozzle attachment off at the bottom left.

I never really was a fan of Competition Orange in all honesty but the way you have everything setup makes it just look so badass and amazing, I love it! Keep up the good work man!

Trevor... I think we made the right call getting you this car. I got the list of parts that need to be replaced in the one we ordered for you and now the parts are on national back order. This is 1 of 5 at one of our stores that has this recall and I won't be able to sell....

Pretty much all the seat belts and hardware has to be replaced.

Thanks man! The funny part is the exterior is pretty much stock except with Airlift and F14's.

Dang, that sucks man. I had a feeling we'd still be in the same boat well into Christmas even after the "week of Nov 30th" announcement. I'm just glad we were able to secure my car! If anything I'm more pleased with the additional next-gen race car amenities lmao.
