I have a silver/red S2k and spotted some red brake caliper paint today. Red calipers look great on some cars and I know some of you here have already done this. Does anyone have a pic of the end result and if you've already done it is it worth it ?

cdelena,

NICE silver car on the bottom, there!
Those are the new SSR wheels, correct?
I like those a lot.

And Luis... you never cease to amaze me, man.
Nice, nice job.

I will stick with NO RED PAINTED CALIPERS for me anyway. I don't like it.

I do like the real brembo red calipers with the logo and cross drilled rotors.

Siper, that's my silver car on the bottom, and yes, those are SSR GT1 wheels. For full info, see my PhotoPoint album.

There's more pictures of the painted calipers in this album

Although most of you know..

The first black belongs to Luis,
the next red is owned by Greg,
the one wheel is on my silver,
and the last is owned by Tom.

I just happen to find a thread with good pictures and reposted them.
