Tim -- very nice. I love your car.

I just noticed your red calipers -- are those OEM red calipers or painted? Did you DIY or have them installed? Thanks.

Thanks! I'm very excited.

I have a Passport 8500 on the dash -- unfortunately the SR7 went with the Bimmer that I just sold... I guess a built-in should have been on the 'next mods' list... ;)
