gold is the best color; if i picked up a set of GT's or stoptechs, i would send them out to be colored back to OEM Brembo Gold

Matallic Gold is a very unique caliper color that non-OEM applications generally do not have. That makes my Brembos unique.

If you MUST change yours, definitely do NOT go with any shade of blue; you need some contrast from the car's color.

You're telling people you don't think they should mod their cars?

If you don't mind me asking, how much did the entire process cost you? And how much did the rebuild kit cost?
