Painted them Gold
I wanted to paint the calipers but was afraid to mess it up... so I painted the center of the rotors instead.

I didn't think I would like it, but I stand corrected. Looks nice!
I do agree with Rob, though - it would be nice to get both the hats and calipers powder-coated as a more permanent solution.

I don't think powdercoating stock calipers are a smart idea. They damage the seals from the heat.

That's true - I forgot about that Brembo thread...

Coming from the guy who painted his roof black for no reason than his own. Nice job!!! Looks different. I think the SGM would look great with rims that color.
