Disagree, not all of us have 2grand+ to spend on a BBK so we go with what we can afford. Trust me I would love to throw on some huge stoptech brakes but considering my tuition is a little more important right now thats what Ill be paying. Also if you look at any 2009, 2010 model car they have the calipers painted from the factory. I noticed this like 3 weeks after I did mine, and my sister just bought a brand new sonata with the same color calipers I painted mine. So if it really did look that BAD then why would new cars come with it stock.

And Rocz, I love the wheels, and I think if you painted them silver with black infiniti decals it would make your wheels POP. Trust me I have stock rims and they def look better with the calipers painted.

yeah i'll probably go with a dark graphite/gun metal colour.. i just changed my stock reflector bulbs to 6k .. looks much whiter.. lose a little light on the road.. also changed the sidestrip to led's looks way better then that dull bulb.. and one of the ABSOLUTELY best MODS.. the sidemarker blinker mod.. im loving that.. I havent seen anyone in Toronto with it.. will post pics tomorrow.. thanks for the feedback everyone.

I disagree with most people in here. I had my calipers painted and they look pretty damn good.

Huh? They already have a coating on them. They will not rust. I did it just because I wanted the look.
