I love this mod! It's one of the top 5 fav mod I've done to my car. Brake pedal feel hellova a lot better with this part installed.
Is this meant to be an alternative to the Grimmspeed MCB?

That's too bad. The STI knob for the MT still has a gray metallic part/sides, which match.

You can say that... but it’s more like it work together. MCB Work it’s full potential when you need to do hard braking (it’ll stop firewall from flexing forward). PSB Work it’s full potential when you want different levels of braking (it’ll stop stressing the firewall). PSB reduce the dull point of brake pedal feel, result you can control more braking pressure level.

Also this bracket is connecting to the brake & clutch pedal, people who have stiffer or aftermarket clutch will notice the difference of clutch pedal as well.

Hope that answer your question

I want red calipers as much as anyone else, but this just seems like it would be bad for the calipers.

Finished up the headlight painting, and installed smoked side markers while I was at it. Looks much better, IMO.

Removed steering wheel trim and wrapped in matte black vinyl. Went in with 0 experience with vinyl, so it was pretty difficult but I just took my time and it came out great!

Swapped all interior silver plastic with black OEM parts.

Never posted about it but also got my Kenwood DDX917WS head unit install finalized before Christmas. Interior is complete for now!

Not sure if you mean the actual door handle/lock or the door pull but this is a handy video that shows how to remove both:

Overall very easy!
