just one question did you get your car painted that color or was it a vinyl wrap just wondering and how much did you spend to get it done i don't necessarily want the same color but just to get an idea of the price

Yea, had them for about 10 months now. They look cool, but I'm not that impressed with them. I'll be upgrading to stainless steel lines sooner or later

it's paint. I had my buddy's shop do the work and I paid significantly less than what the entire job was priced at, which was roughly over 6k. (the parts necessary to make the paint and the clear is pretty expensive)

sorry to hear u dont like the M5 brakes, i personally LOVE mine on my car. the difference is like night and day! whenever im booking it on the fwy at 100+mph they are always there w/o fading to help me slow down.

now that its time to swap out my brake fluid i might upgrade my brake lines as well...i hear the SS helps with pedal pressure a great deal

Yea, I think it's more attributed to the dustless pads I have on right now. I've researched that with the convenience gained though the dustless pads you lose a bit of the bite on the brakes. At the moment the SS lines are my only option to gain better stopping power besides changing my pads.
