Wow. Beautiful!

As others have said, wheels really set this off.

What's the pedal feel like vs. stock?

it could be weird lighting... i notice that your aero sides are a slightly ligher shade than the rest of the car. i've been sitting here staring at it and have decided that, on your car, i like it a lot. with everything else you've done to it, that subtle difference in color gives the car an added "race" feel to it. obviously it wasn't on purpose, but if people asked you about it, i feel you could easily say it was.

it's not as in-your-face as the blade on the side of an R8, but it does look at home on your car.

maybe i'm alone in thinking this way, but i wouldn't change a thing.

380 or 355 front? Will 380 front clear 18" wheels?

Yellow brake will be my color choice as well.. Looks excellent.

oh yeah... i know it's an M...

i was trying to think of a production car that has intentionally different colors for major panels. the R8 was my best attempt at conveying that, but apparently i failed. veyron then?

anyway, i like it.

u guys are harsh on the guy haha.

OP, what they mean to say is...BBKs will NOT stop the car sooner (i.e. will NOT brake any harder than stock and therefore will NOT provide shorter stopping distances). They merely are more resistant to fade as compared to stock setup; if of course your car is driven hard enough/to that extent.

Yeah..... We're a bad bunch.
OP, we were having a bit of fun at your expense.
It's a common misconception that BBKs stop sooner.

They will, but only on successive repeated stops because of reduced fade.
Feel & modulation are a different story though
