Upgrading to AKEBONOs but cant decide which color. Any Suggestions?
That is the dumbest idea ever.
Someone on myg37 already repainted his Akebonos gold and but brembo stickers on it. It was pretty much 10 pages of people laughing at him, telling him he is a retard, and he never came back to the site.
Are you painting or powdercoating ? If you are sending them to Mike the Powder Coater, he can do almost anything. If you want them to pop, I would go with a candy red, chrome, or even green looks good. If you want to play it safe, do a gunmetal metallic or a black pearl with red lettering.

As far as the suggestions go, i like the:
candy red, black lettering (seems like a standard color to most bbks)
blue-purple, white lettering (seems to match more with my lugnuts)
yellow, black lettering (imagined to look pretty sick
)one of my friends also mentioned like a navy blue with some metallic with white lettering.
Price depends on shipping and color choices, it is pretty cheap. He is the main go to guy on the myg37 forums. He is the only one that completely disassembles the caliper before powder coating. The high heat can cause the piston seals to fail if not done. Then he properly reseals them and warranties all his work. He has done more than 50 sets of Akebono calipers and everyone has great things to say. Plus not many powder coaters can do the custom Akebono lettering.
Check out his website and send him an email. He will tell you exact cost and turn around time.

i dont see how using the gold is a dumb idea? i didnt say i would use brembo decals. now THAT would be dumb if i did. everyone either does red or blue. i personally love the brembo color.
