They look great, but stock calipers? After spending all that money on rotors I would expect a matching upgrade to the calipers?

6 pistons calipers are down the road when my driving skills increase. The stock 4 piston calipers are not bad. Pad and rotor choice play a big part of their performance. Also,others things need taken care of too. So I have to choose wisely.

You know if you would have gotten this silly care a little sooner it wouldn't have taken much to convince me to keep mine

I looked at everything out there. Brembo's, AP Racing, etc. For now, I decided to stick with the stock calipers. But calipers needed some color to them. They blended right in with my wheel centers. And Mikes prices are not bad at all for powder coating.
So I bling them. LOL

Replaced the Lower Front Bumper Fascia. From when I clipped a curb with it on my last trackday last year. Got the new one from the link below. About a hunderd bucks cheaper then the dealer. There is a piece broken off of the bumper tho. Going to try a fix it with a plastic welder. You can see it in the last picture. I was under the Nismo today, and the new fascia is already scrapped up.

Also when I replaced the lower fascia. I notice that the 3 plastic rivets that hold the diffuser to the frame are gone. This is the 3 in front of the oil pan. I have a ZSpeed diffuser too. So I got some Well Nuts that would fit the holes. Put them in and screwed them tight. No more having to worry about them disappearing.
And it's tight.
