yes, all 4 calipers are red. that's what you meant, right?
no coatings, though i did have a rock chip installed while driving behind Mooty on Skyline.

speaking of driving, have been doing the work commute in the GT3 the past 2 weeks while DD is out of commission.
the bumper to bumper traffic on the freeway makes it like a (slowly) moving cars & coffee.
need a power meter on the clutch pedal. may go with the SRAM unit.

Incredible place! We were walking across 520 (west to east) ~2 weeks ago and saw what I'm sure was your car (White?) parked along the winding road down. Funny to see this on RL. Small world I guess.. you guys did a nice job.

I just caught up on this thread and all I can say is wow... so how do you guys think you'll do on resale? Dead bugs!? The mileage!!! The horror. I thought GT cars are bought garage queened then flipped. Waiting for the dilemma thread of driving your car or storing it for future value. Ill show myself out

In all honesty it was refreshing to see the pics of the cars, food, scenery, roads... thanks for sharing
