Had some fun at work the other day.
Here's another girl question on those.
How much of a waste is it to paint them so they "disappear"? Has anyone done it?
I want the performance, but not the screaming red brakes.
I'm not sure if they'll even fit, but it's getting time to do something about my setup.
Thanks guys.

I was going to paint them black.

If they don't fit, you can always just upgrade your pads, brake lines, fluid, and rotors.
