Mine are not installed yet, but I had them powder coated by Mike (a user on here somewhere) who also painted the "Brembo" back on. They look better than new.

yeah, that is the mike I was talking about.

It cost me 290 including cleaning, paint stripping, coating, adding Brembo logos and return shipping and packaging (they were packed far better coming home than they were going out).

Was this expensive, maybe, was it worth it, absolutely. Mike delivered them exactly as promised the first time with no hassles, that to me is where real value is to me these days.

No and they are still not on the car

But, if weather.com can be believed, I am putting them on Monday morning.

There is a company out there (they once approached me on carrying their product) that will do a caliper exchange and do the brembo's in Red, Black, or some other color...
