How about some Kyalami Orange brake calipers

I'm seriously thinking I should keep my orange front reflector as it matches the "theme". Thoughts?

Well played.

Love it! What's the going rate for painting calipers? (I'm thinking of faux ceramics…via gold.)

Thanks Trent!!

So this is an X drive so the grip already will vary but when I drive this X car in RWD on the same roads; I really have not noticed a change.

I am not a racer, tracker, but instead a regular daily driver who pushes his cars strong in the right environment (Launches, turns, big bends, fast GT driving). I find it hard to discern between two since while the Michelins have always been good, the Pirellis have made strides with their OEM specifics on the G8X but also with Porsche and others.

I'm in the Kennesaw/Marietta area. Would've been nice but I won't have my car back until early next week!

Just curious how much time do you typically wait for the cure ? I have all my cars done professionally with Nanolex but my installer usually tells me to garage it for a day or two without sun exposure.

Im exactly where you are with your installer--- ill do two full days as I dont want to take a chance with the elements, water on the street, bug shit, bee shit, fly shit, dog shit, horse shit, etc LOL

I took these last few pics immediately after it was done and then it was inside.
