OEM Brembo Mod
Ok guys so here is the deal. I'm picking up a set of the OEM gold Brembo's (4 way) and i needed some subjections. I have the Volk TE Time Attacks on my SB. Should i A) powder-coat the calipers RED to give it a unique look, or should i B) Keep it clean and stay with the bronze and stop trying to be a ricer? lol. My only concern with the powder coating is that i won't be able to sell it.
B) ----> like this http://www.thepowdercoater.com/galle...album=2&pos=30
P.S: does anyone know a good place i can get the calipers powder coated? I want them done right if i plan to powder coat them.

i don't believe red paint would look ricey on single piece calipers. Maybe on stock calipers. Red also seems to only color to go with when having the time attacks. The reason i turned down a previous offer on cheap time attacks, all they do is clash with my bronze brembos and burnt orange seats.

Even though the red will look good, eveyone has red calipers. I agree, you should keep them gold. Pay around with photoshop a little bit. See if you can find another color that will go well with the Time Attacks.

What color is your car??? I have a black G, with red accessories, so in my case I'll go with RED. However I think Gold only looks good on white, blue, and silver.

i'm thinking of painting my black and retaining the red lettering. i don't think there is nothing "rice" about that..... they are actual brembos..... I think rice is painting your oem honda 1/2 piston brakes bright red
