Guys, I forgot to mention....
I've driven 2 days on these brake pads. Swoosh and I picked out WearEver Gold pads all around. Honestly, I can't notice any measurable difference from the OEM pads and virtually NO DUST!
This is a welcome break from 4 years of wiping down all 4 wheels every 2-3 days!

So I ordered the decals Shark linked me too on eBay. Well they took forever to come and I told the guy and he sent me another set. 2 hours later the first set showed. They are white 5" die-cut Brembo stickers.
I'd be more then happy to send them to ya for free. If you need them.

Loved that white TL also...
Mr. Bell have you thought about using A-Spec base front lip with the splash guards?
You know how front splash guards are lower than the front bumper... does it bother you?
I can't decide to get it or not for my splash guard, since I don't know when...

^^^^Goon, I respect your opinion. I love them-I guess "to each his own".
Hey guys, I have a question. I want to replace the turn signal bulbs in the tail lights (the outside bulb in the tail light). I can't remember what size bulb they are. Are they 7443 or 7440 or maybe 1157's.
Can you help out?

Yep 7440 does the trick.
I ordered the "7440-RHP3" ones off this page a while ago.

Thanks again guys-I'll order these tonight.
I have to tell you...I went to Granite City for lunch today and parked next to a white Porsche. It had all 4 calipers painted red (all Brembos). Looking at my newly painted calipers and looking at the Porsche, it really, really feels like my Type S has taken a step up.
