Default Painted calipers

Well, don't have enough money for a big brake kit yet..but this will do. Got some nice nismo stickers and a paint caliper kit to complement the rotors.

i think the black looks nice but it's pretty ricey putting nismo stickers on it since nismo doesn't make stock calipers.

Black looks pretty good. Usually the painted OEM calipers don't come out good in other colors. Could have done without the nismo stickers, but it doesn't look bad at all. Nice work

wow...those "endless" fakes are hideous. do they give free butt cheek implants with them too?

i'm thinking about painting my (non-brembo) calipers as well...probably black like the OP. nothing flashy, just clean and dark.

I painted my non brembo calipers black on my ppw except i don't have any stickers on them. Maybe if you had put white "nissan" stickers it may have turned out niceer but not too bad.

Nissan stickers look better than 350z ones but either leave it the way it is untill you get our BBK or just take them off. Mine are plain black and it looks fine. I too want to get a BBK in the future.
