Well the rims will not be black with a red lip, just one dark color (diamond black,gun black or gloss black) They arent supposed to match, (you dont see them match any STi or Nissan) this is a factory Brembo color, that's why I chose the color. So they look like factory Brembo brakes. Plus I think they will stand out more behind a dark wheel.

The problem there is I had to machine the backside of the caliper mounting tabs becaues these brackets bolt onto the other side. Each knuckle ends up being machined differentley because you never know how much you have to take off until it is totally flat. So each bracket is made to each specific knuckle. People would have to send in thier knuckles to be machines and brackets made to them.

The liabilities behind making these and machining someones knuckle could be huge. I am no engineer so who knows what could happen though I am sure mine will be fine.

For me to make up for the time it takes to make this kit and for the parts (front/rear calipers/rotors/lines/brackets) I figure this kit would cost $2000-$2500 and at that rate there are better kits out there for less money.
