Smile My G35 Brembo inspired TT Calipers

I know most of you don't like gold calipers, but I'm always drawn to the gold with red lettering Brembos available on the G35 coupe. So, I went with that theme for my Supra TT calipers. I finished the fronts, but haven't finished the rears yet. I also painted the hats of the Stoptech cross-drilled rotors, as you can see. Hopefully, everything will be ready to install this weekend. Do you guys think they're too flashy?

It's VHT caliper paint, SP736 Gold. I first did a couple of coats of Rustoleum high-temp flat black. About three coats of the gold. The logos are painted on with Plasticote high-temp Universal Red, followed by two coats of Plasticote high-temp Clear Coat.

ps-rscott, did you get the sway bars yet?

Thanks, for all the compliments. Sorry, for the misleading thread title. I guess that did make it sound like I was installing the actual G35 brakes. Anyway, I'll take some photos of the rears, and of the car once they've been installed. Hopefully, I can get it all done. Not only do I have the brakes to install, I also have my Tein CS coilovers coming, I have to remove and remount/adjust the Do-Luck RXB, and I want to install the JIC tie rods before I have the car realigned. Sounds like too much to fit into one weekend. I may have to prioritize.
