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:


where are your two piece custom light weight rotors mang?

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.
