Allforcash, while i appreciate your opinion, the 2005 didn't come with the Brembos or else I would have gotten them. I didn't want to spend 3-4K on a BBK. The stock brakes seem to work fine for me (The brakes are improved from 2004 non-brembo for what its worth). Whether it looks "ricey" is up to the individual. I personally love the look of the red calipers and am glad I did it. Again, is it a brembo or is it powdercoated?...no. But, I like it and thats all I really care about. I posted it to let others know what it looks like if they want to do it. I tried to find pics prior to me doing it but had trouble. So, take it for what its worth.

Its easy. You just have to take the wheel off and mask parts you dont want to paint. Thats the time consuming part. The rest is just painting with the brush (everything is included, except tape, with the G2 kit which I got off ebay for $32 bucks). But theres no need to take the calipers off unless you really want to do an A+ job and paint the back of them. I didn't bother as the only person who would ever see the backside would be the mechanics and I could care less what they see.
Overall...its time consuming but easy. No more than 2-3 hours for the project.

I wanted a little more of the blue look (ala BMW and Audi even though I know they get theirs b/c of the reflection). I spent more for the Philips brand as I read they are far superior. As for the fogs, I changed them out to Philips 5000K Diamond Vision.
Here is a side by side of the Philips 6000K and the stock bulb. FYI the car was still jacked up on one side.

I'll go get a pic of the fogs now...though I dont have a side by side as I forgot to take the pic
