Its a nice looking car, The spoiler is a bit big for my tastes but otherwise a tidy looking ride.
I bet it gets hot too being all black and in Pensecola!

It does get a little warm, but the air conditioner cools it down rather quickly.

The cover just covers the outside of the caliper. As a matter of fact, in most cases, they do not even need to be removed to replace the pads.

Just installed the new custom-made HID headlights from Performance Auto Solutions.



I still have to get the Halos wired.
