Nice Good idea!!!

Dame I didn't want to post any pics untill I washed my car but here it is. I painted my calipers red with black letters (3.25 in the front and 2.50 in the back). I had three people at work ask me did I buy some new brakes and how much did the Brembos cost!

I guess they just didn't stand out when they were black.

The black brembos look good, good choice with your color car.

I think I am going to go ahead and paint the rears.

Still waiting on something from GM on the weight stack before I paint the fronts.

Have all you that have painted masked the weights off on fronts?

I masked them off as well. Doesn't look out of sorts other than the weight itself

Has anyone just pulled the weights off to see what it really fixes?

That'd have been one of the first things I did. I mean who's ever heard of stacking wheel weights on brake calipers anyway.

Worst case scenario it causes a weird noise or vibration and you run down to your favorite tire shop and get more stick on weights.

Give them your paint code and you will have it in a week!

Arod · 09-24-2009, 11:53 PM

You should have painted the weights also!
