because right behind the logo "BREMBO" you see the factory tiny little caliper LOL plus BBK's arent that smalll they are called BBK's for a reason.. the calipers arent that small/thin...

The front's are painted but the rear has covers on it.. you can even see the factory shim/fitting kit

I don't know if its just the pic, but the white LEDs seem so bright at night. Looks cool, but seems like it would be a distraction.

It's not actually. It's gives a calming feel for me. If it is too bright you can always dim it.

You can't adjust it. It doesn't allow. It just picture look so bright. That's my photo skill issue. It's actually bit brighter than I tought at first look, but you get used to it.

you should specify that it's ONLY you who has done that LED swap and
that you are the ONLY one who has put that fake BREMBOs on your car

your title makes it sound like all koreans are doing it

anyone know if there is a DIY floating around to do this?
This being change the LEDs from the ugly green on the console to another color.

I find that there are way too many colors in the car... blue (dash), green (console), yellow (dome)... it's kind of annoying lol
