Yup, If I had to do it again I would probably get them painted. These corners were the first mod I did 2 1/2 yrs ago so I didn't know much about DIY.lol

in my own opinion.. it would be nice if you stick to dark colors... your car has silver,cf and black in it.. going bright would be something else..

but it is totally up to you! you got brembos anyway.. u flaked on me man! i copied your r1 concepts and u left me! lol... jk

lol, I hear what your saying. It's that the calipers I have on now are powder coated black and you could barely see them. I know the Brembo's are bigger but still...Maybe I'll go with silver or 744 to match the car...

I will still have the R1's in the back until I find something

btw salty... your wheels looks good... are you going to keep the lip like that? I always like it when you can show off your big front brakes and calipers..
Lol my bad. Did u mean the color of the lip? I was thinkin about murdering the while thing out all black. Possibly a satin black wrap, gloss blk trim. Then changing the color of the wheels to satin outters gloss inners. But I don't have the $$$ for that right now so I'll just leave as is. But I'll prolly end up puttin an exhaust on and a powerchip. Maybe an intake. I dunno

thats the orange paint. i believe that theres a blue one in there too. if i did go the powdercoat route, i would go for like a gold or baby blue like the stoptechs. i think their blue is just jaw dropping nice. lol

i dont think they make one. you would have to buy the parts seperately and custom one yourself. the problem is that, from what other have done (andy and buffy and a couple of others), they all say that the stock ones were better and there was some loss of power. or something along the lines of that.

My silver is 744 Brilliant Silver. I believe the lens is Amber behind the paint. This is what it looked like before I wrapped the bulb in electrical tape.
