The red I got looks a little darker but yes, just like that. Black AMG lettering and all. Looks nice!
Thanks - the red is actually a factory Brembo red. I am not sure if the C63S red calipers are painted with a different color. Mine are certainly not a stock Mercedes red color.
Did both my C class and SL in silver, white vinyl sticker decals on the C300 and the stock black on the SL500. The SL is now 3 years on and still looks like I just painted them. Clear coated over the sticker decals. C300 front SL500 front
Curious to know why paint them instead of just putting caps on them? I figured the caps color would last 10x longer. I always see red painted ones that look faded.
Xander, just my opinion. I don't drive a lot and the SL not in any kind of bad weather so mine have stayed like new after over three years. The red is ok for some cars but I felt the stock silver on both cars looked better in my opinion. And the covers to me just look tacky if that's what you mean by "caps".

Fair enough. I just figured popping these on top would be a lot easier than painting and last longer. Could be wrong, not sure if they would be tacky though. Look like they would look identical to paint, and look better in rear than painted.
