Thanks for the feedback, the photos look great!Got my package yesterday, again thanks Paul for the great communication!
Some pics and some notes:
1) Not hard, but not "easy". Take your time, be careful, and it will go smooth.
2) This jack worked out great: https://www.harborfreight.com/4-ton-professional-floor-jack-with-rapid-pump-green-64786.html
3) Instructions said there are 10 of part G. My box only had 9, but you only need 8 plus a spare. So don't go crazy looking for the 10th one like me
4) Instructions/labeling had Front Left and Front Right mixed up. The calipers on the CT all are towards the rear, not like the instructions.
5) Regarding the "blue diamond", its just a sticker. That comes off and you stick a nice mirrored chrome diamond there.
6) This video is very helpful and basically the process:
7) The kit is quality, just be patient with the install and you will be happy!

It's a piece of diamond shaped piece of double sided tape. The blue is the sticker to expose the adhesive. It's probably painted underneath but I wouldn't try to rip it up. The mirrored accent pieces that go on it look good!
FFS, a few ounces of unsprung weight isn't going to matter (saving 2-3 lbs per motorcycle wheel matters as it's a significant % of overall weight, caliper covers on the CT is % wise insignificant), it's 1/10th the price of getting powder coated (which also adds no value other than visual differentiation) so it's a way to visually differentiate the truck a bit (since I wont wrap the truck), besides most of my other cars / bikes have either a red Brembo Script or are in fact factory red - I like the look, just not $2800 worth to get powder coated. To each their own....I also like fake tits!I'm surprised so many people fall for such useless hardware. It makes me sad that so many people are willing to install the unsprung weight of fake calipers that don't do anything except pretend to be something they are not. 100% fake, just for the sake of peacocking.
It seems to me we have enough fake tits, fake news, fake food, and fake lips, that we don't need fake brakes. What's next? Fake births? Fake children? Fake cars in your driveway? Fake jobs/careers? ?‍
Different strokes for different folks……let folks do what ever they want with their trucks. Don’t be so judgmental. BTW…Tesla uses FAKE brake covers for the rear calipers of the MYP.I'm surprised so many people fall for such useless hardware.
