For all you SoCal people, anybody know of a shop that would paint/powdercoat oem calipers? Also, where can I get some brembo stencils?

If you have the ability to remove your wheels and do a little masking you
could do it yourself! It's soooo damn easy a caveman could do it.....haha
Why pay some bodyshop $100= or more to do something you could do in
an hour and a half? If you don't own a jack and don't think you could get
the job done by all means have someone else do it for ya!

I'd suggest waiting to see if the 14" 08 coupe calipers and rotors will fit. I have a feeling they will be less expensive than aftermarket BBKs because Infiniti will be ordering them in production quantities. Sorry, they aren't red, but they still look pretty cool to me.Originally Posted by asuh

Even if you can get it @ dealer cost, they would be pretty expensive like the 03-04 G brembos...Originally Posted by terrycs

If you talking about used set, you would at least have to wait for a year or so to wait for some wrecked cars to come up or people swapping out.. (chance is slim since people would have to upgrade to at least 6 pots in front.. )

How much are OEM Brembos? Were they 13"? They didn't come on all models, right? I'm hoping the 08 coupes will be less $$ if they are standardized across all coupes (larger production numbers). A new set of aftermarket BBKs are between $3K and $4K. Surely the 08 coupe's should be less than that.Originally Posted by godmans

I really have no need for a bbk as I don't ever plan on taking the car to the track. The oem brakes are excellent for normal street driving. I just want the color of the calipers to compliment my black wheels. I decided to just purchase a brake caliper paint kit with some brembo stencils and do it myself.

How to do this. You can actually purchase caliper paint and either brush it on or buy Hi Temp Paint and spray it on.
