Hey All,

I've ordered a set of GT 500 Brembo's for the car, and now I'm struggling with the colour.

I've been considering using a Brembo stencil to put the name on the calipers...so my original thought was red calipers with white logo. my BF thinks the car is to stealthy for red, and that I should do black paint with white logo. if i go with red, should i do the stock rears in red, or maybe just paint them black or leave them silver? it will also depend on how "pretty" the calipers are in person, behind the fanblades.

What do you guys think??

If you want to stick with the stealth theme, go with grey calipers with a white stencil logo.

hmmm that's an interesting idea, i never considered grey. do caliper paint kits come in grey?

i just always figured my car was blacks and white, not in betweens

keep the advice comin'!

I'm sure you could find some grey paint that would work on the calipers -- maybe some high-temp stove paint (lots of color choices). The kits I've seen don't have grey, only silver. My thinking was the grey would kind of blend in from a distance, but look awesome up close. Stealth, baby!

Ya, actually that was the kit I had in mind already. I used something similar on my previous car (in black) and it held up really well.

Now I just need everyone's recommendations! I'm liking the idea more and more about grey!

I'm doing my calipers blue because I'm going to install blue rally strips, but blue and gray are stealth compatible.

well guys the brakes came in and they are gorgeous - powdercoated (i assume) black with the brembo logo in white.

i can't paint over them now, they are too nice. i would have gone for red i think, but i'll stick with the black for now.

thanks!

Post some pics with them installed.
I've got a P white 06 GT, trying to decide the caliper color, also!

Nice brakes! (nice bike, took a peek at your gallery!!)

I absolutly will post pics when they are installed. I am away next week, so the install will be the week after that. I have a thread about this in the modifications section so I'll post all the tips I come up with over there.

Ya, I love my bike...it's a blast. But I haven't ridden much this year as this was my first summer with the Mustang.
