what sort of look are you after? sleeper or in your face?
I know it sounds silly but something contradictory would be my style. Metallic green, purple or blue always looks good when there's a black backing

i'm torn between the sleeper look, and going metallic green, like the same colour of my HSD coilover top hats haha

good news regarding brake lines, there's a company in Penrose called GSS Performance who custom make HEL braided brake lines for X90's etc. in 15 different colours for added bling
they work out around $85 per hose. so ill be heading down this road.

Yeah bro, i'll fire you a snapchat of beers with a "?", that's how you'll know i need help haha
ALSO, i've decided to go with the 'Endless' brakes metallic/anodised blue colour for the calipers to match my sways and cusco arms (i will eventually paint my rocker covers the same).
for example:
going to get Grant from GT Refinishers to help out me with this.
