Lightbulb quik brake caliper poll

should i repaint my supra tt setup a different color or should i leave them alone


my neighbor and good friend has a 04 corvette zo6 supercharged in black on black and everytime i see his ride the red calipers against the black looks soooooo sweet.. whenever i see turbopimps old ride the red stoptech screams at me ..


there just something about the red against the black , i dunno , guess i am really getting bored.....

Hey man enough with this, order the paint kit in the morning, take off your wheels and sand the black paint from your calipers, then there will be no turning back.

I just installed the stickers and re-painted them black with 3 layers of clear coat. The supraTT claipers now look great. I'll take some pics for you today.

since install last year , i painted them a nice glossy black with the rmm stickers , i was thinking maybe do the red for a change but it looks like the masses suggest redo in black and put on my new rmm stickers that indio gave to me as a thank you gift (thanks again eric)

I like the red, but the way your car is set-up, black tints, silver wheels, I feel the black flows better with your cars looks..Thats just me..

If you want them to stand out do red, if you don't like it just repaint in black before applying your RMM stickers.
