+1 I have thought about doing porsche yellow for months now, and although it looks sick with the Blue F, I think it will look even better with MM silver

Good find Javy, thanks for sharing!

I got the sneak preview before the thread hehe Looks HAWT!

For people that plan to change the caliper color, are you going to powdercoat or bring to the body shop and paint?

I'm going to buy the best caliper paint kit and have a shop with a lift help me out. Then I'm going to add the Brembo decals instead of lexus and clearcoat over them so they don't get jacked up!

Wow, you were at the Lambo/Ferrari meet as well. I must have been late, did not see the Blue-F, however I did see a Silver GT-R. Last Sun was a good turnout, 2 weeks ago it was better. Nevertheless, I am there every Sun just to drool at the millions of dollars that are in the parking lot, and sometimes great looking women

Looks sick!

I've always heard about those Cars and Coffee meets but have never been out in Cali when they happen. Guess I'll have to find time one day, looks like a ton of cars

I want to get this done now too!

What would be the best way to do it? Have a body shop do it? I'm not so good at the diy..

Hot hot hot! I think yellow is one of the best colors for BBKs. A dark colored ISF (black) would help the brakes stand out best.
