3 options...

1) Pay over 1000$ for the rear disc conversion from the GE8 in Japan...

2) Wait for US maker to make Rear Disc brake kit.... ( doubt this will happen )

3) Stick with the stock rear drum...

Thought I saw a set of rear drums and shoes for the GE8 from project mu, but I could be mistaken.

That's the OEM sport grille. First time I've seen it color matched though. Can't wait to see how it looks on the car.

IMO because the car is orange, the red doesn't really POP out, still looks nice

It's all good... at least it does not get riped off... like the OEM RED JDM one does 90% of the time
