Need some opionions on my BBK

As some of you know I got in on the Alliance BBK sponsorship. I think without a doubt it's the sexiest BBK on the market. While it hasn't been the smoothest time getting these Mike at Blackline Motorsports has been petty good so far.

Today I received the rear set. The fronts are still a few weeks away because of a problem with the first set. I ordered them in red since I have a LR coupe thinking this will look great, but when they arrived they really aren't red. At least not to me. I spoke to Mike at Blackline and he says that's the color they should be, but to me they look more pinkish. Since the color isn't going to get any redder I wanted to ask you guys what you think it will look like on my car. I posted some pics of my set that I took on my garage and a few pics they just sent me of them installed on a black Z. So be honest guys and tell me what you think.

They are anodized red...I've rarely seen a nice, deep red from anodizing. You could always use the D2 caliper paint or powdercoat them.

I think they will look good on your car, but that is correct they are anodized.

I think they will look pretty good, I have red stoptechs on a LR and I'm not a big fan actually, I would of gone with gold or silver if they had it, they blend in too much, while the ones you have will stand out just enough to get some attention.

But I have a question off topic a little, the pics of the 350Z in the car, what size are the front BBK?? I want to get smaller wheels on my car, 19" and I have 14" stoptechs, I'm looking at Volk TE37, do you think they will fit on my ride?

The Alliance BBK has 15" rotors in the front.

Do you have any pics of your car with the Stoptechs installed?

I brought one of the calipers to work today to ask some other peoples opinions and the first thing everyone said is they look pink. So that does it. There's no way I'm putting a pink BBK on my car. I'm going to see what the black version looks like and if I don't like that then maybe i"ll powder coat these red.

Have a paint shop refinish them if you don't like the color. I do not recommend you powdercoat them.

True red BBK's are a dime a dozen, bro. Even though your BBK is anodized red, it's different and I think they will look sick. I say leave them the way they are.

They did, but the fronts were damaged in shipping so they need to get me another set.
