Calipers!

So I'd rather not try to scroll through hundreds of threads, google and ebay search hundreds of links ....

I want red brake calipers with logo "AMG" or "Mercedes Benz". I am not trying to change the whole brake kit or rotors. Again only for the look ...... see pic below(just an example i downloaded, not my car)



Example

So my question is ... What is recommended?

Buy new calipers, go buy a set of covers, have the disc and covers painted.

any help will do.

links to websites? direct link to a thread already on here? what is best for the price without compromising performance? whats safe and whats not safe?

sidenote** anybody know where I can find those AMG wheels (probably replicas) in 22"? drop a link off a website on that too!!

People spend good money to join these forums and I think it's reasonable to expect a certain level of service

Go on ebay and buy yourself those fake plastic silicone on ones in red. Peel the stickers off and have AMG decals made up. I had ugly calipers on my 08 Cadillac STS and could not find a brake kit... so I did just that.

Carid is a joke. I have had horrible experiences with them. Avoid.
