If anything red is more ricey than yellow. Yellow is what a lot of OEMs use for their carbon ceramic brakes.

I think blue or yellow would look good with SGM.
I''ve been considering painting my calipers as well.

So I guess red Brembos comes straight from Brembo "riced-out?"

Silver and red looks really good on a dark wheel, imho! I say stick to the Brembo factory theme for a classy look. Oh, and it also comes in yellow too, not pictured.

A quality paint job on any Brembo looks fantastic if you ask me. What looks tacky to me is seeing a set that are not taken care of as they deserve better and shown off.

Not really what I meant....I just said its more ricey because a lot of civics and integras paint their stock calipers red which gives that image. I only said that because someone said yellow is more ricey.

Maybe ricey was poor choice of words... Overstated was more of what I was implying, which I do not feel is very forthcoming of our cars. But this is just my opinion, and as others har stated above, the bottom line our Brembos are bad ***, even if they are pink lol.

Love this look, Question.. are you guys using the caliper paint kits (Dupli-color, G2 etc) or are you puying high temp paint. Also I know many of you mentioned the Brembo decal is purcahsed online, how do we know what size is correct for the front and rear?
