Default Upgraded Brakes From Base to Sport, Pics

Well guys I finally got my base brakes upgraded to the Akebono/ Nissan sport brakes. They look alot better behind my 19'' wheels. According to my dad (due to I'm color blind) the calipers are the same color as my wheels. Took me about 5 hours to install. Due to I had to grind the dust sheilds, replaced brake lines to SS, and bleed the system several times. Pretty straight foward install IMO. Any questions are welcome.

I want to thank my dad for helping me as always. Now I have to let him take it for a couple laps on the track. I'd also like to thank Spencer at Z1 Motorsports for giving me such a great deal on this upgraded kit. And for answering all my questions and giving advice here and there. They truely have the best pricing on these period. Z1 offers these kits with several option such as slotted rotor, SS brake lines, and many pads of your choice. I went with the Hawks HP+ pads. There great for track and street use. I also upgraded to the ATE super blue brake fluid. So hopefully this setup should be perfect for what I'm looking for. Shortly I'll have some two piece rotors coming. So below are some before and after pics. Hope you guys enjoy.

BEFORE
