here's a pic of my disc brakes which i painted silver. i got these a long time ago, maybe about almost 2 yrs, paid $100 for each. i guess now thy costs a little cheaper.....he.h.ehe

Patrick, are you showing up today? Jmai said he will be there for a little bit. I will be there.

BTW, your brakes look nice, I've never seen greenish/yellow calipers 'till now.

they loook good....i think i woulda gone with red though.....its what sports cars with painted calipers usually come with....red really stands out in black and white cars....still they look good.

brembo has breaks that color. i think thats the color he wanted. he told me he saw a g35 coupe with breaks that color. but i've seen g35 breaks and they are a little darker brown color. looks nice though. a little too bright pat.

indypwr

yeah, it did come out a little bright.......oh well, maybe it will fade in the long run?
i used to have these calipers red b4, but i got tired of it since i always see red calipers all over the place. i just wanted to be different from others. i thought it wud come out darker than this but i guess not. it really stands out , though.....

btw, this color is not green, eric. it's gold!!!........ha.h.aha!!!

That color is rather odd....why not just do Silver or Black? I mean what is the point of highlighting non-high-performance stock brakes? Why not just do a real big brake upgrade?

White or Black

big brake upgrade?? yeah, if i can afford it. i dont do any of that auto-cross racing of drag racing stuff. if i do, then upgrading the brakes is a must! but not for my application. i did upgrade my discs but that's about it.

Manaray

Big brakes are great for any use....not just auto-cross. The improved brake feel is awesome...but like I said, why make your stock brakes stand out like that? Afterall, who the hell is impressed by stock brakes? (unless it's like a stock Brembo package) You know what I'm saying? No need to point out the obvious.

indypwr

ok then can you lend me $1400 to upgrade my brakes??....

Manaray

Yes, I suppose I COULD but where's the benefit for me?

Like I said, you don't NEED to buy a big brake kit but why make your stock brakes look like they're something special when they're just BONE STOCK? What would have been so bad about just painting them black or silver? You know, something that looks stock?

Don't get me wrong, it's nice to see your cars getting done up but don't do lame mods bro...painting your stock calipers some weird color is just pointless....the color doesn't even go with your car or your wheel or anything...I'm just looking out for ya...
