Jedi: I can understand why most people would be afraid of the $1500 price tag, but in the long run, having the actual name brand is where it's at...don't really have proper bragging rights

Vlaze: I kind of like the side slots on the front, it's what makes it noticeably different from the other kits...

REv: I actually think those rim colors like nice with that color....but maybe I'm just a weirdo lol

I USED to like TL's, as a matter of fact I was THIS close to buying one instead of an RX-8. Hmmm... how different things would be had I made that decision.

I absolutely HATE the rear on the new TL. It's some retarded chrome smiley thing that looks hideous.

you're right Rev, it doesn't look good in blue.
Besides, who the hell even buys an RX-8 in blue anyways?!

chase: Hawk Ceramic pads are AWESOME.
great braking, no squealing (unlike the damn OEM's), and very little brake dust.

Yeah I guess I have a tendency to stay under the radar. when I called yesterday they said it will be done by the end of next week. So I hope this is true and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it looks out of the factory and the paint matches.

Chase they will last a long time, won't squeal and won't put brake dust all over your wheels. I have to agree with Jedi Hawk Ceramics are a good choice.
