Well, you only live once right? We'd be probably the only ones in the US with a Smartuki. 
Do you need the Venom/NO2 instructions for the wiring? That's a great idea that you had, ie. Venom could be source of electrical draw causing my dead battery(s). I can bring you the wiring manual if you need.
Oh, what's up with JIMINNI's ride? Did you guys get the SES issue all squared away?

You should have driven it to take the rust off from washing the wheels before taking the pictures. I want to re-shim the left side when I get more shims. I wasn't quite happy with the way the pad lay against the rotor on that side. Wilwood is very stingy with shims and your brakes needed more than most to center them correctly.

The rust doesn't bug me like it does some people.
Let me know when you get somemore and I'll bring it by. 
Are you down to tint your windows? I think it'd look sweet with limo on the back 3 & smoke on the driver/passenger.

As far as which brakes I went with, I went with the wilwood 12.2's without the dust cover.
Dude, the tint's on the inside of the window & your stickers are on the outside of the window - you won't lose a thing. I had the Frackmobile tinted for $185 for all five windows, so you're not going to break the bank either. Trust us, your car would look more stealthy with the windows done. Plus, in Fresno it keeps the interior cool & provides a level of privacy if you keep some stuff in your car.

4-5 different cars, over 15+years, never been an issue...YET 20% rears, 35% fronts. Some photo's in my gallery. Just have to remember that IF you do get pulled over, just lower both windows.

$185 might not be a lot to you but its a lot to me.
