Looking good, but I suppose ya know that the rear flare's front leading edge is going to get blasted by road debris !!! A small price to pay for tucking your oversized meats into.

I think that I may practice this project on my rusty old '95 Accord's rear wheelwells.

I found rotors that work with them and fit the car, only thing needed are brackets to make them bolt up and that shouldnt be an issue either.

Mmm I don't thrust custom brackets, one of the main reasons I'm not riding RL 4 Pots is because I've heard horror stories about the RB Bracket.

I havent heard any bad stories. Not to mention, how do you think the Brembo/Rotora etc... BBKs attach If the bracket is made right there is nothing wrong with using one.

No but I mean custom as in Machined by "X" Guy in a Shed..
At least BREMBO Bracket I trust is made of some fancy Metal to withstand the brake abuse, Not "some grade" of Aluminum Block machined to be a Bracket that works.


Dunno perhaps I´m just too unconfident about using stuff made in home

Nothing wrong with it if its done properly. They dont use any fancier metal than you or i could buy. Its just the grade of steel or aluminum that counts. This car will be seeing a lot of track time, i have no issues making a bracket that will hold up.

Just getting old........bad back and family will slow ya down more and more, every day of life.
The human aging process is sorta like rust on your car's body, except more difficult to repair.
