Stock Gold Brembos to Red Brembos

I always thought the gold color on our 03-04 mts looked ugly so Im thinking about painting them red and re-badge them with the white brembo decals. Has anyone already done this?

Here's some older pics. I painted these with G2 paint about 1-2 years ago. It still looks good to this day.

The brembo logos were painted on with high temp paint. You can buy the brembo stencils online. I wouldn't go with decals, they're bound to fall off with the abuse that brakes go through or with repeated washing of the calipers.

I think you're wrong i've made hundreds of sets of decals for the lexus guys and have yet to have one person tell me that mine fell off...

Make sure you powdercoat them! You'll end up with a cleaner finish
