Put on the clear markers this morning...much better
That's good to know about the brakes. It's not too big of a deal, but if they get quiet I won't complain
Still undecided on the exhaust. I've been reading lots of posts on here about the different systems available, but not sure which one is the overall best choice for what I am doing. I don't want full track exhaust since it is a daily driver. That would be too loud and would lose too much low end torque. I mainly want the weight improvement. What do you guys think?
Starting on the remote radar install now, with mirror mounted display. I'll post full write up when that's done.

Tried out AC27's idea on the brakes. Worked like a charm. Couple of aggressive brake applications going from 120 to 40 worked like a champ. Quiet as a church mouse now.
Finished the radar installation Thursday. Felt like I got beat half to death with a tire iron after that two day project, but it was worth it. It came out really nice. Just need to organize all the pics and put some text with it and I will have a great "how to" for you guys.
Car is going in for the stereo upgrade tomorrow (decided not to do that one myself after all the time it took on the radar). I'll post up a review on that when I get it back Wednesday.
Thanks for the suggestion on the exhaust, Larry. That's pretty much what I thought too. I'll get on that once it is back from the stereo shop.

Where did you source the clear side markers from? I was wondering if my dealer can order or if I need to get them from Europe. PMNA used to stock them but I don't think the new Cup cars even have side marker lights any more.

Not yet. Doing it Wednesday when it is back from the stereo store. Had a training class in all last week from Japan and didn't have any room to get the car in for the install.

Nothin wrong with a GT3...you are doing better than me! Love the white too.
Every GT3 I've heard with the Sharkey center by pass has sounded perfect. Nice in the suburbs and opens up nice in the higher rpm's.

unfortunately, the brake squeal will be back after a few miles of city driving since you have the steel rotors.
