good job. but red is too showy for stock brakes, at least for me. i painted mine black. if i had a nice brake setup maybe i would go for a more standout color.

bro, even with my stock brake setup, i have gotten good compliments on them. trust me, you don't need a nice brake setup just to have a nice "accessory" on your car. but it all depends on the color of your car too. red on my black car was a good look. . .

I think if you're stock that the color they coat the Z33/V chassis cars' "sport package" brakes is the best. http://www.zeckhausen.com/images/bra...rake_Swap4.JPG

There's a reason the brembo's and the like are coated gold lol. http://www.zeckhausen.com/images/bra...rake_Swap3.JPG

I would have kept the center cap gold and painted the calipers gold

And it would have looked horrible.

It looks good, even on stock calipers. The gold picture that was posted looks really nice as well. I hadn't thought of gold. My calipers are looking pretty ratty for not being painted, they are a little embarassing. I see me following your footsteps with the paint. I'm going to look at that gold picture again. Rich
