yao,this has been a dilemma of mine for sometime now.I wish someone would come out w/ aftermarket calipers to replace stock ones, un fortunately you either have to paint them,grind them to polish look, or upgrade to Brembos or Baers or any other top of the line product to get them decent looking

thanks Boltzman...

i know the 12.4" brakes are good enough for MOST driving applications....

but man.....its just somewhat bothering that i can do all the exterior mods to get the car the way i want except the darn stock brakes.

no biggie...i'll accept it after awhile....



thanks again boltz!

I'm getting ready to purchase Rotorpros crossdrilled/slotted rotors and Hawk pads for under 400 I will probably have my calipers painted red at the same time I have my new hood(Still don't know yet)painted,Trunk panel painted black,cam covers painted either black or tungsten. Get it all done in one shot

Yao,

Short term and cheap fix is to paint them. You can get the caliper decals from www.xenonmods.com and dress them up a bit.

the best upgrade to make them look good is to give them a background like cross drilled or sloted rotors, i am going with the granatelli rotors from lethal performance
