Upgrade Brakes, or Just Paint them?
Hey everyone,
I have a 2011 white E550 4Matic and I was looking into getting new brake calipers... I'm not gonna like I just like the look of them, but I was wondering what is the best way to go about it.
Looking at the back breaks it looks like you would not be able to paint them and just through a sticker on them.
Is there a place I can get Renntech or AMG brakes?
Or will it be best just the paint the stock ones?
IF i get AMG brakes is there additional maintenance cost associated with them? Any help would be nice, thanks!

AMG discs/brakes are one of the most expensive parts to maintain on an AMG car. although apart from the looks, it performs really well. BUT if looks is your main concern, get yourself proper caliper paint and top coat for under $30 and you might be happy with it. if not, then do the upgrade. i saw a white 63 here with white calipers. looks killer! also, do you have aftermaket wheels to support your big brakes if ever? just my 2 cents.
