5 or 6 coats of Cerakote paint sealant - i lost count. I washed her last weekend and ended up not driving her last week. I added a coat almost every day after work.

driving her this week and this morning felt like an extra 100hp now that it’s boost season.
Got tired of looking at the pollen - first wash & detail since last Nov, ~3.5K miles & 5 months.

This is the “conversion” SS braided line i used. The oem had a hard line to a block with the rubber hose.

Line kit was manufactured a decade ago? That would concern me.

if people have 20 years old hose on their daily that they track, i think my ss will be fine lol
To each, their own. I had a SS brake line blow out on me once so perhaps I'm a bit paranoid.

I did the CZP Paragon 2 piece rotors. I feel the Nismo should’ve come with 2 piece rotors, but yes I know the 2027 Nismo will have them on the front at least. These rotors actually didn’t drop the amount of weight I was expecting(26-28lbs) it was more like 21 lbs which is still good.

Oem front 34.6 lbs
Paragon front 28.5 lbs
Oem rear 19.5 lbs
Paragon rear 15 lbs

The rotors, wheels, and car color look so good! The paragons are so expensive though. What was the cost for all 4 corners?

$1734 shipped on their tax refund sale so like $550 off normal price.
Tempting for me, but I'm looking at suspension mods first. I'm thinking SPL/Nismo suspension (keeping divorced rear in the back) for adjustability on stock springs/struts and stock ride height. Maybe combine it with sway bars? I autocross and track every once in a while.

They always have some future sale to come in the coming months plus some folks get the fronts only but I'm OCD about that lol.

I think I'll do fronts first, then rear. I'll do the work myself so I don't need to worry about labor. Mainly it's psyching myself up to hit the buy button. I'd prefer to go with Nismo arms, but I saw some V2 vs V3 issues in a different thread.

While I’m waiting on my lowers, i decided to check my awe exhaust since box was trashed by fedex. everything looked good. Has a minor dent in one of the resonators and the mufflers have weld splatter that rattles as you tilt the mufflers side to side. Also i took a pic of the holes in the mufflers part of the 180 technology? looks like something i did in my younger days…

They're condensation drain holes.

FedEx really did a number on that... Are you going to contact AWE for a replacement or run it as-is?
