Pre-painted Reflectors & Calipers (again)
I was looking at these Pre-painted Reflectors at evosport.com (hmmm kinda ugly). Do they make clear ones, I remember seeing some but I cant recall where.
I was looking at my stock calipers on my 2001 clk320 and they are freakin ugly compared to peoples images online. I was thinking about painting them but I think that will draw to much attention to how ugly they are. Is there a cheap way to get them to look better. Maybe some type of covering or even a new better looking caliper. I just want it to look better and dont wanna pay a lot.
thanks

I just bought some Brembo rotors and those porterfield pads. Can I just buy those AMG calipers? I just want that look. I have 17 AMG wheels .. not sure if that matters for spacers. If I can buy those calipers where can I get them (on the low, lol) maybe some used ones.. . They dont have to be amg's I just want red ones that look nice. This never bothered me untill I saw pictures on this forum. Then I went outside and looked at my ugly ones!

Yeah this forum makes you do a lot of stupid things. I just got my C32 brakes haha and waiting for my painted reflectors to ship from Evosport. I should be spending that money on more useful things like a laptop or something. Anyways, the silver a little borig and doesn't stand out much behind my wheels. Was thinking of painting it Kleeman purple or gold or something what do you think?

After looking at previous cars, I think I will leave it silver and get some gunmetal wheels that better show it off. Right now, my wheels cover a lot of the brake and the silver color blend in too well.
