white calipers

Im buying a set of really really messed up brembos and im thinking of dipping them purely white and carbon fiber lettering "brembo" i have a black coupe with 19" SSR's and blacked out tint, headlights, turn signals, and tail lights any comments or ideas on other colors... or even pictures of someone else doing it?

Those things get freaking hot. Carbon fiber's going to discolor, and make sure to use a high temperature paint.

something like this would look good. I would go with red lettering though.

I would think white would get really dirty over time. Brembos deposit break dust like a &*^#$#!

Ditto. Use Hawk HPS pads, their not as bad as Brembo's when it comes to brake dust.

With your OB coupe and doing the "STEALTH" theme white calipers isn't the direction I'd go. Order the gold paint/stickers from Brembo, white calipers won't look right with BLACK...black....black theme....

you could always go black with them. or do a off the wall color that most people wouldn't. just make sure you can tie it into the car.

I like this terminology some members use "Played Out." Colors are played out or wheels are played out, if you make it your own nothing's played out! What ever you do is a matter of personel taste, if white calipers are your "Thing" go for it. I'm sure at this weekends meet at Huntington beach we'll see everything, some great and others....well not so. I'm not worried I have great taste!
