I think it looks a bit goofy on the red too, although I dig it. I should take a picture of the other side of the car, with the cherry blossoms on the fender...It flows better on that side, just not the side I happened to be on when I snapped those cell pics...

Yeah I am. I've got someone wanting to shoot it, so maybe next week sometime.

I'm torn on this. I LOVE yellow brakes, and always have, and I think it looks good this way. However, it might look better with a different color...I'm thinking of having the brakes polished, and then adding the brembo logo back on. If I decide to go that route, it'll prob be winter though. I don't drive the car much over the winter, and I hate to give up prime summer time to have the brakes done now...

I doubt this will ever happen. I'm not sure what color I'd do next, but either way, I'd probably just sell these and get a new set and let someone else do the color change...

I guess the thing you all have to realize is that I just like to try different things. 10 spoke wheels aren't my favorite, but I've had 5, 6, and split 5, so I decided to try something new to me. I've never been crazy about stepped lips, but I've had reverse on my last 2 sets and never done step, so I ordered them stepped this time (and might be hooked!). Just like when I bought the blue AMEs, I didn't know how the pink would look, but so what? If I hated it, I'd sell them or paint them or whatever.

When I order parts, rarely do I get my most coveted ones. I try to get something that I haven't done yet, and that hasn't been done locally (I live in Idaho, so that's usually not a huge issue...).

Don't get me wrong. Yes the Yellow brakes do look great...love it on the red, just clashes a little but and takes away from the wheels IMO.
Polished would be the only route I would go with the brakes given your setup and flow better with the polished lips.
Would like to see some shots with the cherry blossom hood/fender side.

If I saw your car on the road I'd assume you are color blind The colors of the wheels, brakes, hood, etc.. all clash IMO.

You have some amazing parts on there. Would love to see the brakes red (or another color that flows), hood painted, and the wheel centers polished (or another color that flows). The car would be near perfect after that
