Default Had my Brembos painted, and another small mod

I was planing to have my brakes painted for a long time and finally had my painter do it. I decided to go with yellow because red is so common and the yellow looks great with white. Its a Lamborghini yellow which seems to be very close to the yellow that Brembo uses on the GT kits. Here are some photos...







Also yesterday I took out the stock bumper reflectors and put in the JDM LEDs. Looks pretty sic at night, each side has like 21 LEDs. They just come on with the other lights.

Looks great. I'm down to blue or yellow for my brakes... you may have just swayed me toward yellow.

Off topic question - what size spacers do you have on the stocks in the 3rd pic?

contrast looks great. your sideview shot of the oem wheels is really nice.

quick question, did your shop take off your rotors when painting it or leave it on and do a good tape job? im not sure which way i should do it.

Do it, you will love how they stand out after. Silver is classy

The yellow looks even better in person. I have 25mm spacers front and rear until my wheels arrive.

Thanks bro. My shop paints them on the car and everything else is covered. There is no overspray anywhere. It looks just as good as if they were taken off the car.

Looks good with SFP! What do you think will look nice with an Obsidian?

Don't you have the new LC888?? I'm thinking if I should go with LC818 or LC888 with my Obsidian.

Looks awesome. I'm planning on changing my color on caliper myself but haven't decided yet on what color. Also notice you installed the wald spoiler and it look good along with them led bunper lights. Can't wait for your new wheels set up.

I believer he got some new Work wheels coming in. Also IMO I like the lc818 more with the square set up for the concave look all around. I'll be selling my set up soon.

Thanks. I had the 888 for SEMA and sold them and then also sold the 818s. With either set I would do the 19x10 front and rear though, both will fit fine with a square set up.
