Ahh thanks for the clarification! I guess they wanted to represent more of their brand than having a renown brand that only enthusiast know about.... maybe on the upside people wont try and steal them xD.... That orange does look pretty good... saw it at the auto show!

Well while I'm waiting for my wheels, and some other things I decided might as well get some matching toys.
As you can see I may be a bit obsessed at this point.

Top is 1/59th Tomy Takara

Bottom 1/10th Apex RC car

Any chance you have a link for the decals you used for the brakes? My car is scheduled for roof and caliper paint as well

Awesome, yes sir, here you go.
Just know that the back calipers won't fit the symbol just the word Brembo.

Default Price

The calipers look awesome!! Not color matching them from the factory I feel was a bit of a fail but it is what it is. I was curious what price point you guys are finding for getting this done?

This is my 2nd time to get my calipers painted, each time was about 75 per caliper.

Funny, I have bought the set before you! Mine are coming in tomorrow.
I did talk a bit of trash on Facebook about the fake carbon but I really think your car is coming out great with the paint.
Great inspiration! my Varis carbon parts are taking 5 months to come in from Japan! so in the meanwhile it's great to see yours.

Yeah, the wrap was a bad idea. I'm gonna be so jealous once you get your parts in, may I ask who you ordered through?

Well springs are here and wheels are in production, hopefully couple more weeks and I'll be all together!

Love the color of the brake calipers… not a "traditional" red but looks like they matched it very well to the interior.
