Yes you do!
I saw a set in the classifieds at an awesome price if someone hasn't already snatched them.

Thank you!
The finish is brushed gunmetal.

builds take time...
-still haven't dynoed since my Akrapovic install
-still need to install my new GFB diverter valves
-still need to install cooler plugs (2 steps)
-still need to install updated coils
-still need to let Active Autowerkes revise my tune for all the above improvements (while on dyno)...Because my Active Autowerkes authorized tuner Dynamic Auto Tune in Charlotte, NC is still 1.5 hours away from me
-still waiting on powerdome hood to be painted and installed
-still waiting on Brembos to be refinished in Acid Green and installed

I am so pumped for all this...I hope AA works that tune for the pure Stg 2 and all your goodies.

Color has turned out better than expected... almost a metallic flip candy color between green and yellow
waiting on blocking, finishing touches reassembly and logos...

Teh.brandon · 01-23-2018, 09:56 AM

I saw a Panamera on Sunday with Acid Green brakes on Sunday and damn did it ever look sick. That is going to look stupid good when installed.

I'm green with envy

Deftronix · 01-23-2018, 10:04 AM

No doubt, looks very close to the porsche acid green, even better! Was a bit worried when you posted that other green in #798, that was no acid green! Can't wait to see them mounted up!

Yes I thought the green that I posted earlier was nice, but comparing that to what I actually ended up with is so much better.... Acid Green was the look I was going for.

I was unsure about the color when comparing swatches; I definitely wanted Acid Green, but the samples weren't specific to Porsche colors. Austin at Exotics Motorsports suggested this color and was confident that it would complement color scheme very nicely.

I have a very good feeling about this.

The calipers look awesome, I can't wait to see them on the truck 👍

With that much flair on the caliper color I'm surprised you don't go with some kind of logo color that really makes them "pop"

maybe the light in the previous picture wasn't great for my eyes but now they look pretty damn cool

I'm sure that picture in front of moving train

with new brakes/calipers and PD hood will be so awesome
