Cool! I can't wait to hammer them brakes...they're gonna be killer, they don't fade or overheat at all, period. They are available still for people that want them, they're just not cheap. . The gauge pod is a prototype and is damaged a little as you may have noticed, I leaned on it and cracked it...plus the finish is not ready for prime time just yet. If you want one I can have it made for ya $$.
