Default Kicking it up a notch! ZZPerformance style

Well, I finally did it. I stopped by ZZ Performance last week, and dropped a bundle.
List includes:
F-body dual piston aliminum caliper kit
Stainless brake lines
Strut tower brace - ZZP, black
Poly motor mounts, red
180 deg thermostat
NGK TR6IX Iridium spark plugs
3" 304 stainless downpipe w/ Magnaflow cat'
3.4"pulley
Throttle body spacer
72mm throttle body

Now I just got to find the time to get it all on.
Of course Hawk HPS pads are going on.
The caliper mounts are to be powdercoated black, and the calipers silver {red is too showy, not subtle).
Thinking about CNC'ing a bowtie onto the face of the calipers before coating, then filling with red. What do you all think about that idea?
Next item purchased will be ZZP's new polished die-cast aluminum valve covers. $250/pair. I seen them, but they aren't available yet, or I would've grabbed them. Maybe when I go back for the re-programming.

I definitally Like the Idea of cnc'in the bowtie, if you have the oppertunity, I would do the bowtie, and put Monte carlo just underneath it.

Man If I had one of those machines Id have a lot more done to the monte, like I would do some nice alluminum.. I dont know what they are.. When you open the door and look down on the doorsill, there is a part that says monte carlo.

Wayne,
All those upgrades sound really good. Please do the CNC'ing, and make sure you provide pics and sound clips when you finish the upgrades.

Default CNC'd bow-tie in the F-body calipers

Well, I finally got the bow-ties engraved into the calipers. he pic's are only so-so, but you can see them clearly. They are on 10deg, as the calipers sit at 10deg, also. Bowties should be almost level when mounted. They are 1 1/4" long and .020 deep. Calipers and brackets are getting polished and powder coated a durable silver, and the bowties filled with red caliper paint.
Unique.

It helps that I have CAD/CAM at my work bench, and about a million $ of equipment at my fingertips.
