Thanks, Yea I figured not everyone would like it.. I've seen gold, red, blue and all the other colors so I wanted something a little different. I was gonna polish them but I just dont have time (chrispy's look so dope).. I figure that they probably wont even pop that much behind the wheels.

Post how you like the oem pads once you get them installed. I'm wondering how these compare to the Akebonos - I had these on my ls400 brakes and was not pleased with the stopping power.
I'm now running Carbotech Bobcats and they stop great but they are a bit loud and I'll go with something else when these wear out. I hope the oems give you a good bite. Let us know. thanks!
