So next time someone posts about brakes, reply something cheeky for some laughs. I think the thread was called worst brake design ever.

There is a hair of merit to his claim, brembos and stoptechs you dont have to undo any bolts to swap pads, they're made for racing so pad changes take 1 minute, and you can see the friction material. But anyways.

From the ad, plugs into the USB port where you would normally plug in your phone. Basically its a "wireless" USB wifi connector.

You have to remove two bolts on the Stoptech ST-40 and ST-41's. The ST-42 you have to remove one bolt. It is the AP's that are tool less.

As Dedhawk mentioned. It just a connector. You plug it to the USB port where you use your wired connection. On the other end of the product there is another usb Wheee you can plug your phone and it becomes wired (long trips charging and CarPlay)

Ahhh I was wondering if they plugged it into a separate port behind the headunit or something else.

Installed Verus Engineering GT spec hood louvers originally made for a S550 Mustang. Wasn't too bad. I checked my measurements more than 3 times to make sure everything was symmetrical xD

They look nice but probably aren't a good idea here in Florida with all the rain.

New BRZ arrived. Was delivered yesterday. First wash today. Tomorrow Performance Package wheels will be installed. New larger brakes, possibly Performance Package Brembo's are next.

Performance Package wheels are essentially new. Previous owner removed immediately after purchase and sold them to me. Will be ceramic coating those this evening! Fun begins with the new machine. Very impressed with the BRZ!

The wheels as you see them on this photo will be available for sale. They will have about 60 miles on them when removed tomorrow.

I do not see a light bulb glowing inside. It may be hard to find a real one, but just 60 watts keeps the inside dry and nice over long periods of time.
