Meant to update my thread two weeks ago but I couldn't wait any longer. Installed the Stoptech big brake kit and I could not be happier. Install went smooth minus the rotor screws since I rarely drive the car but I installed brand new ones in the BBK. Had to cut the dust shields off for the rotors to clear but that was an easy part. Here's some photos:

Sneak peak of the fronts with the Infinite Werks: (Wheels have been collecting dust so they appear dirty)
Ill take some quality side shots of the entire car next time I take it out.

Last weekend I finally installed DRLs from VLEDs. This is their newest bulb 6k 6 XTE-2 LED DRLs with their R2 DRL Warning Canceler Kit. Matches the V3 Triton switchbacks and all my other lights perfectly. Pictures do not show the crispy white and only show the brightness.

Love the looks and those VXSS. Would you say that you have more than 1/2" clearance between the top of the Calliper and the top of the inner portion of the 19" stock rim ?
It appears so from the pic.

Unfortunetly all my wheels need 20mm to clear the rotors. My VSXX are O disk and need to be R so I'm probably gonna sell them. They need 23mm to clear the fronts. Looks like I'll be in the market for some new Works.
Looking forward to your BBK Karkraze!

I can measure them once I get home but I'd probably say that's about right. Love the setup! Had lots of people asking me about them on Instagram and now they want to go the same right.

A couple changes coming, but not the testicle move lol. First show is next Sunday April 9th. Hopefully everything arrives in time.

Another 4G with BBKs. I like the Works more since it shows off the BBKs a lot more then the other Werks. I'd look for some wheels to expose those beauties and obviously BBK friendly lol

All my wheels need 20mm to clear the BBK. VSXX need 23mm to clear the front and 20mm to clear the rear. My be purchase a brand new set in the near future. Have a buddy interested in the current VSXXs. I'll be keeping my Infinite Werks though as show wheels. The specs are ridiculous though with the spacers. New tires will be mounted this coming week.

Yeah runner up this year. First place turned out to be a guy who I sold some S2000 exhaust tips to many years ago. He had a white 3G bagged on SSR's, BBK in the front, with a nice trunk setup and screens in the headrests. I took runner up because I'm lacking on the interior side. So, I'll be working on redoing my trunk and have plans for some seats for now. We'll see how that goes. Stupid expensive.
At the end of the day. I'm extremely happy with the build and still under 14k miles! Much more to enjoy in the future.
VSXX current specs 20x9 -4 and 20x10.5 +5

Oh, ok. I love your build and respect the work you put in to your car. I has my vote.
With regards to the mileage , I think the same way with mine, 2010 with 30 K Kms, this thing will last me to retirement lmao.

I purchased a spare set of emblems from the dealer awhile back and got them back a couple weeks ago from a buddy. They are gold chrome now like the OEM set for the RL. I got the "SHawd" and both front and rear "A" emblems done since those are the only ones I use. I just need to find some time to swap them. Probably before Weakest Seattle since Ill be showing at the Heeltoe Automotive booth to support my buddy Marcus since he asked. Hoping to get some more mods in before as well, but currently too busy to mess with the TL.
I love gold!

They did come in gold for the RL and MDX but not the TL. I cross referenced the numbers between The TL, RL and RDX and the A's were not the same. The SH awd emblem is though. So I bought a brand new set of TL emblems and got them done to match the oem gold. I had them on my TSX in the past and it was a must have for me to go with the black and gold theme.

Just some small changes for this past weekend's Weakest Seattle show where I had the honor in being the Heeltoe Auto vendor car with Marcus.
And just some better shots since photo bucket doesn't want to show my past picture due to wanting $400 for an upgrade. No thanks!
