Got my brake calipers wrapped!

I personally didn't wrap them. My buddy who owns a vinyl wrap company hooked it up for me. It looks fairly easier and cleaner than paint. It looks amazing in person. The reflectiveness is really eye catching.

Thanks!
Brake pads, still stock I'm at about 18,000 miles now so I'll probably just replace the pads when necessary. The dust is kind of a pain though. I hope it doesn't mess up the wrap too much. But I can't complain, it was free.
I am a little skeptical about it holding up with the heat of the brakes, but we shall see... My buddy who did them, had his brakes wrapped on his Tahoe, and from what I remember, they held up pretty well. Also, the vinyl is high-heat vinyl apparently which is specifically made for stuff like these applications so hopefully it stays.

Changing the front brake pad only or do we have to change all the 4 brake pad together? Because my front wheels are completely covered by brake dust while my rear wheel is about 80% clean.

I did all of them when I had 600 on the clock. The rears are only about an extra $40 and they're easy to do. Now with the combination of those and the Pinnacle Black label coating so it can't stick on the rim, brake dust is completely no longer an issue

Seems to hold up fine so far. And I have been mainly doing highway driving. Which I do nearly everyday to go to and from work.
I get a lot more looks and compliments now lol.

That looks cool especially the night shots. I bought some to do my calipers myself but after practicing I realized its much harder to wrap rather than paint and still look nice.
