Akebono's powdercoated by Mike
 

I just wanted to share with everyone how my experience with Mike was.

About three weeks ago I receieved word from Mike that my calipers were being sent out and he sent me information for the payment. He does his payments over paypal, so I had to create a paypal account and add my credit card. Well, my credit card company was giving me sh*t as to why they couldn't authorize it on paypal and I ended up receiving my calipers before Mike was given his payment.

A week passes by, and to add to things I had not received my new brake oil required for install or my new brake lines.

Another week passes by and Mike was completely fine with everything he said something along the lines of," no rush I trust you will get it to me." At this point not only did I feel bad because I haven't paid the poor guy yet, but I am also slowing down his business. I finally got through to my bank and got the credit card authorized and got Mike his payment. But, I ran into another delay because I went on spring break vacation last week. I told Mike about that as well, and he said that was fine.

To make a long story short (kind of), I wanted to make a thread describing my experience with Mike and how great and extremely patient he was. I recommend him to anyone on the forum and his work is absolutely immaculate. Thanks again Mike the calipers look amazing.

Mike is one cool dude. :tiphat:

He really is. I recommend anyone to get this done if they can't afford a bbk.

How close is the match to the decal?

Its pretty darn close. Mike suggested that red after I sent him a couple of pictures.

dayam! :yum:

which colour is that, looks sick specially it matches the decal on the wheels

^^ i think it's called red. :icon17:

thanks for the kind words!

The color is called bright red. its got a slight orange tint to it. it did come out pretty close to those stickers.

looks awesome! what caps are you gonna get for your wheels?

Center caps are not available for the TE37 SL's.

Yea its called "Bright Red." Mike had a good suggestion.:tup:

none of the Volk caps will work with SL's? why? to save weight?

Boinggggg!!

Looks great, what lugs are you running OP?
