IMO colors were not the biggest issues with their kits, pad choices are. With their distinctive 4 individual brake pad setup per caliper there aren't m any other pad choices available besides what they offer. I've seen that to be the biggest detterant(sp?) to those who are considering PMU brakes.

I do like the fact that they are willing to listen to feedback from others within the community as shown by their willingness to break tradition and add more color options.

i think the teal colour goes really well with bronze ray's wheels and the blue ray's wheel nuts.

I wonder if they will offer different colors on there billet calipers. Anodizing can create more colors then powder coating has to offer if you know what you are doing.

Oh well keeps the ballers with billet kits original

true.... but tell me how some teal brakes would look on my seregenti sand?

On the Racing Caliper kits, they can do red, black, gold and a special alumite white finish.

I'm not usually a fan of anything orange but those orange calipers on a black z with some black RE30's or any track style wheel in flat black would look sick.

I still liked their teal but i doesn't really match with anything but it did give PMU the distinction difference between other brands.

Thanks Andy!
