Actually there the multi-tint from the factory. They look blue or yellow depending on the angle. But when turned on there bright yellow. And they are pretty damn bright. Hope that helps.

I plan to slap some BBKs on my 19s but that's a long ways away from now. The 8 just sits collecting dust lol.
Word... The 8 is collecting dust =[ Let me know when and I'll drive it around for you lol

Yeah I simply missed driving around a fast car. I got a chance to ride in an Esmerill kitted and a MM upgraded turbo RX8 and well, still slow.

I'd love to use it for a DD/Beater but it is high maint. and gets horrible gas millage lol. There's just no winning with this car. So it'll sit till I decide what else to do with it. I have my new front and rear bumpers on as well as my new Volks but the still no color change yet so hopefully I can get around to it this winter. If not I wanna get rid of this thing and finally go big with something like a Vette/Viper/NSX.

I'm sure you'll keep doing some awesome things in the time to come though!

^ Thanks guys... I feel like a BBK kit gives a car that final Beast look to it. You see a car at a show all done up; body kit, wheels, decals, music, roll cage, and then stock brakes... It like a disappointment(not all the time)... It gives that final touch.

very nice BBK. I love stop tech. I am just not sure why you went the complete opposite direction of original by painting them the color of a competitors kit (project mu). To each his own.

All the feed back I got from Racers like Rand Pobst was... No decreasing in stopping distance.
Just lighter weight and less fade, better feel.

It definitely feels much better. But I cant prove anything with just the butt feeling. But you know when the Sun hits them, and they start sparkling I'm ear to ear =] lol.
