Red calipers with white lettering

I have had my 300zx tt calipers painted red since I got them, but the letters were bronze to match my bronze rims that I had then. While I replaced my pads recently, I touched up the red and changed the letters to white. Here is the result:

In my opinion it looks to "ricer". Really am not feeling them at all. I think it would've been best had you painted the calipers black.

Perfect match on the color of the lip, the white looks alot better than the bronze.
Sometimes it's those little things, that can pull it together.

Just get the 350Z rear calipers and rotors. They dont have the logo but they are vented rotors and bigger calipers and its bolt on.

Yeah, I know...BUT like I said, the main thing would be the matching NISSAN logos for me! OEM l33tn355

If someone only made a rear bracket and rear 2-piece rotors

It really doesnt look ricey at all. In person, its a bit more subtle. Im very pleased. I always noticed people staring down at the wheels while I was driving, so now the lettering is a bit brighter for all to see. Ill try to get a further-away shot for you all.

Well Power and Speed plus great braking are always a great investment.

Last, the Front/Rear 4 piston caliper Wilwood setup with lightweight 2 piece rotor's I'm running isn't exactly cheap!!!

Okay, I take back my "ricey looking" comment I made earlier on this thread. They look very nice, to the point that I'm considering doing it. However, I still think it's too red as someone already indicated. I think a burgundy red would've fit your car perfectly seeing how red seems to be a color you've had all throughout the car, but also considering that your car is black. Burgundy would be the best match because it has hints of the two colors. But black would've taken the cake, IMO. Black with some silver lettering, which is what I'm considering doing, if indeed I do it.


What type of calipers did you use and what's the amount that you spent for this mod?

Thanks, I appreciate it. These are 300zx tt aluminum calipers and they cost me about $100 plus rebuild kit.

So 300zx calipers fit on all four existing calipers?


Do you happen to have a full side view picture to see how it looks when you see them on one side?

The 300zx calipers do NOT bolt on, but fit with a bracket made by Matt Blehm of Blehmco. Also, only the FRONTS fit with brackets - the rears do NOT fit, although I have 350Z rear vented rotors and calipers.
