You guys have to see this thing in person to truly appreciate all the hard work that has been done to it. Not only is Sly's car the shiz, but his brother has a 1st gen CL that will rock any CL out there. The systems in these cars are bananas. Cant wait till the next meet.

I got them from a company called EBT (Euro Brake Tech) in CT. They ran me approx $140 each. I spoke with one of the techs there and they had to track down an 11.8" rotor since not many aftermarket companies make them for the TL-S yet.

Thanks! I pulled the engine & grill apart and masked it off...then I had my autobody guy spray it. The system was built from scratch & painted by my installer.

Charged me $200 for everything, the grill, cover right above it, battery cover, engine cover & clips.

It shouldn't be too much. The paint will blend in with the chrome and the rest of the car.

AlfaV6: I'll be at the PAA meet in May.
