I'm swapping out my stock to OEM brembos, I've repainted them a shade of purple ( http://www.tirerack.com/brakes/g2/caliper_paint.jsp ) that I got from G2. I'm replacing the brembo red decal with a metalic gold brembo decal. The set I bought are used and I bead blasted all the old paint off and am rebuilding everything, only problem is the rear seal kit is on back order, might be a couple months they say.
