Brunette. I like redheads; they go good with black TD wheels and Pure silver. My gal looks very close to yours, except she is a brunette.

I installed these yesterday. Can't wait until the next track day...these will shave some time for sure.

Curiously, anyone with the Willwood 12.2 kit have any concerns with the torque rating on the two copper nuts used to fasten the caliper onto the caliper bracket? The instructions say 47ft/lbs. One of these stretched a bit and I was not at 47 ft/lbs...I'll call Todd, but I'm curious about other thoughts.
