I think Nexx is suggesting I send them out for custom powder coating. However I don't want to do that. Also as mentioned I don't want any other brand of BBK. After my research StopTech is the best route for my needs/wants.
Can we add an option for chrome? I think you need more bling like your engine bay, keep that theme running outside. heh, im leaning on red as well, ya others have it, but there is a good reason to that...
What offsets are your S1's up front, you going to be able to run those brakes?
Maybe you should just sell me your wheels instead
Get some nice siver ones that those black calipers will show up behind.

I don't think you can go wrong with any of the colors that you're considering.
My color choice would be the black: you'll impress anyone who knows what they're looking at, without having to worry about brake dust discoloration becoming very noticeable (although it's easy for the white StopTech lettering to get dirty/dingy looking without regular maintenance.)
IMO this is hands-down the best mod that a track-junkie can buy. You're gonna love these brakes!

Depending on your offset and if your wheels are low disk or not, you might have to run spacers. When your wheels don't fit, let me know, I'll gladly trade you mine.
Best of luck -- I vote BLACK, street fighter look all the way

Thanks Phi but Rickdogg was running a 6/4-pot Rotora set-up and had no probelms. While he did run a small spacer for extra clearance I don't think a 4/2 should be a problem.
To clean up the argument of fit, you can get the templates out and hold it up to your wheel to see if its an issue before you even buy the brakes, what im doing...
Horn, those are some shiny black rims... Why did you go with drilled?

because I'm stubborn? lol. I didn't really plan on doing too much with it but that's changed seeing how I'm going to the track next month. I'm hoping for the best.....
