I point and laugh every time.

There's no reason to do it. It doesn't look better, it doesn't prevent brake fade, it doesn't slow you down faster or stop you faster. They go in the same category as strut bars for me: Decorative do-nothings. And they don't even do that well. Theyre ugly on top of all that.

Point and laugh all you want, there are a few members like myself who look at the small details on our rides! Painting calipers so they don't distract from our wheels, painting the dipstick handle because orange sucks or polishing the air conditioning lines because they look better polished! Do-nothings? No just pleasing to those who care about what we drive...Gary

But they don't look cool. I mean silver I get. It just makes it look clean, but painting it any color that pops out does not look good on stock calipers. If you got brembos (or any BBK) then paint on, my man. Painting stock calipers is like putting a plastic hood scoop on a Chevy cavalier.
