But this poll only includes the optional color red, and the impractical option of our choice of colors which is not going to be cost effective at any price.
How about a new broader poll including all Brembo colors to see if there's one predominant color the majority would like to have? We're probably pushing the limits of change here, but it can't hurt anyone to voice our opinion. Input??

Works for me. Anything's better than the grey they're slated to have. Red is the most predominant Brembo caliper color I've seen. Gold (bronze) might be ok as well.

You've always got the stripper appeal.

For some people, that makes a big difference.

You lost me...stripper appeal? I didn't think anyone knew I went to that place, and it was only that once!

So, Speedy, you started this poll, right? Can you redo it? Afraid I don't know how. The Brembo colors I know of are red, silver and gold(a very metallic gold...very nice & it's not orange). And I've seen black and blue mentioned here.

Can't at this point....if I did it would be skewed. The bottom line is most folks don't want standard silver and that's what GM needs to hear.

Yeah, I see what you mean, and some would look at it as another unnecessary nitpicking poll. But I think we all know how near-perfect GM has apparently gotten this car, yet we care a lot about it and would like it as personalized as possible. Not a complaint, just a preference!
But I just can't go along with red, man.

GOLD for me

Red on cyber grey.... Beauty in motion..... I'm really liking this. I'd love for them to be red.

why did this poll close

ctk1 · 11-19-2008, 02:31 PM

I think red brembos would look great, but to keep the price of the car down, just have yours powdercoated or paint them after you get the car.
