mine are gonna be with black paint and red decals that say "s2000". i think that its the best way to accent them without drawing too much attention to them. but i still dont think red callipers are ricey or fake brembros. those fake bolt on brembro covers are fake brembros. red calipers are just trying to make the ugly pretty!

I'm doing mine very soon as my car is 7 years old and the original calipers look terrible.

I'm doing mine with the Foliatec silver paint colour. I think this colour gives them a clean and classy look, kind of restorng them close to how they looked when the car was brand new. I chose this colour over the "ricey" look that brighter colours tend to give you - red, blue, yellow, etc...

My other choice would be gold colour as you see that on some high end brembos. I just find the very bright colours as being "ricey" as many people have done that to their import cars and it is getting old looking IMO, despite many high end Porsches, Ferraris and Lambos having red calipers. I prefer a more classy colour that looks sharp but doesn't grab too much attention.

My Caliber SRT4 has red coloured calipers from the factory and I'm tired of people asking my why my brakes are a red colour, and wondering if I painted them myself, etc.... (usually from older non-automotive enthusiast types). Just my opinion, colour choice is a very personal opinion.

I want a BBK but i am not sure what rims ill put, i want the Kinesis and as you might know they range from 4k up, and i dont race to much so i want 19, with the tire inside the rear fender "not all the way but just starting , so when i get wells ill try maybe yellow brembos if poosible. but for know im just taking it easy, and i have in storage a stoptech kit that was $600. Hey pimping is not easy, or we do it right or not at all lol.

I have no problem with red, but to my taste , the yellow with the original calipers in red, they really dont say anything, is like look at me but im not impress. I might do the black and yellow decal for now,is clean sporty and not 2 flashy lol and when i deside what wheels ill get , then i ill posible get the BBK!

I'm not sure why anyone would want to draw attention to our tiny little calipers.

have you seen anyone say they wanted to draw attention to their calipers. no. they just want to make that ugly bland bile brown color a little less ugly. not to draw attention but to keep from drawing attention in the wrong way.

I really don't like the red/yellow/whatever else painted caliper look unless the caliper came that way.

Spoon calipers look great in the blue. Brembos look good in gold or red or whatever.

Stock floating calipers look dumb all painted up. My S2000 never sees the snow/salt...so the calipers just look like faded OEM silver.

My EM1 is my DD. So I painted the calipers silver with flame proof VHT paint. They look like they're fresh OEM calipers. They have been through a track day and a lot of hard street braking...no issues with fade or peeling yet.

IMO, the red painted look just looks like you're trying way too hard. It's rice burglar spec for sure. Especially on a blue car....it's like you wanted to be spiderman for halloween and the car is your costume.
