Are you sure they are Illusion Orange? hmm not only we both have gray sedans, with gunmetal? wheels , both named mike, both from NJ, and both rock "illusion orange" bbk? hmm great 
although your color seems different than my Illusion orange, perhaps there was silver flake added as the top coat making it look more like yellow at certain angles/lighting? which is exactly what happened to the first attempt I got mine powdercoated and I didn't like it, they looked almost like they were faded/yellow/gold at times but not orange.
This is what my Illusion orange BBK looks like
Since I'm already posting here, I'll share a few pictures from my Tail of the dragon run this past Wednesday, May 27th when I was over in TN in Smoky Mountains for a week
A moment of happiness after taming the dragon
Few pictures taken by local photographers camping at certain curves who then post the pictures online available for purchase (print, digital download, cd, etc.)

here's a link on the install, it's for a Z but it would be the same for your AWD G. You'll also need the 17mm banjo bolts for those Akebono lines.
Install Akebono Big Brake Kit on 370z or 350z

Whats up Mike? I hope they are illusion orange. At least that's the color I picked. I know it's a 2 coat color. When I picked them up they are in the box and looked orange. But when I took them out and the light hit them, it lightened up a bit in the orange color range. I don't know if the iPhone pics make them appear yellow, but they don't look yellow in person. Btw your car is sick.
Not much buddy, where are you located btw?
I had bad experience getting the illusion orange that I wanted with silver flakes that came pre-mixed as a top coat, that totally threw off the color and looked horrible,yellow/faded orange, but the ones I currently have are exactly what I wanted and couldn't be happier yet the pictures you posted definitely don't look like my Illusion orange. Anyways maybe we could meet up one day and compare haha
Thank you, you post some pictures of yours man!
