If you can, WHY NOT?

 

The rear oem brembo brakes are good enough for extended track use. Anything larger, and you lose the ability to run slicks if you ever decide to take it to the drag strip.

 

see for me i cant.... im a poor college kid. All the money I have ever made went to buying my 350 in full.... right now every penny i have is going to gas, insurance, and maintenance (spelling lol)

I love the look of a BBK but i just dont have 3k to spend on it =( I personally am happy im a 20 year old you bought his own car without the help of mommy or daddy.

 

I actually sprayed one of my rotors badly and the paint was everywhere on that rotor. I could not find anything to clean it off so I said "f-it, i am going to buy some slotted rotors anyway..."... For the next few days, my car was sitting in the garage and the paint was dried completely on the rotor....

I thought that was the end to my rotor but the paint was magically gone (I mean completely gone) after I drove my car for a few miles.....

 

What I did was use plastic bags and wrap them around everything. They were thin enough to go under the brake pads and all. Then just use a few pieces of tape to hold it down.

 

ahhh masking and taping up brakes to be painted

takes me back to when i was 18 all those 6 yrs ago

i painted the brakes on my Alfa black and realised i had to do the disc hubs too after fitting a set of open spoked wheels

i used plenty of newspaper, and good quality masking tape that was easily re-shapeable into a curve, think some old bed covers made it in there too to cover the car completely - those metallic flakes from silver paint go everywhere

 

Rice!!!
Ban!

 

I think if the color white is used on the calipers, it will look like a giant rice grain on your rotor.

 

rice.
Making something to look like something it is not, ie a performance part, is the very definition of rice.

 

I don't think changing the color of something is trying to make it look like a performance part. I changed the whole color scheme of my car by painting stock parts, just because that is what makes me love it that much more.

I fried my brakes at the track one time and ended up going with a stage 2 upgrade. I went with cross-drilled rotors, upgraded lines, pads, and motul fluid. With the upgrade I went from 120ft 60-0 to 107ft 60-0. I painted my calipers since mine turned gold from the racing incident. I think the calipers look great, especially if you go with new rotors. Here's a pic.

 

it only looks good because those nice BBK's that costs $1000s have painted calipers. Do you really think anyone would paint stock ones if performance ones were just flat silver?

 

You just painted them back to stock color

Anyway, if you are worried that it would be rice (someone one told me it meant - Race Inspired, Cosmetic Enhancement) than don't do it, because some people will inevitably know they are stock painted a color and some people will think thats stupid. Why you would care what other people think, that's your own bag. For me, i'm getting a front BBK for track. I keep getting told it's a waste of time getting the rear, so guess what i'm getting the back painted to match the front (which will be black BTW). Anyway, to each his/her own. Like the great prophet Humpty once said, smell how ya like.

 

you painted them to look stock again, i dont see any problems with that.
