Instead of painting the calipers, you can order Caliper Covers from MGP. www.calipercovers.com. They can custom paint them any color you want and can put on custom logos or words on them. They are a bit bigger than the caliper, so it give the appearance of very large breaks. You can see them on my Camaro in my garage and in my signature picture below. I cannot believe how many complements I have received on these.

The Brembo calipers are cool, but every sports car seem to have them now. He wanted options on how to make the car stand out and be different. Put an number of SS's in a row and they all have the Brembo brakes. The covers are completely different and can be very customized even to the point of putting your car's name on them.
The covers have some other benefits. They keep the brake dust to a minimum keeping the wheels cleaner and for those of us that like to run on road tracks they cool the brakes dramatically. Porsche has recently come out with some similar covers to direct air over the caliper at high speed. These do the same thing. I even have seem where Nissan GTR and Lambo owners (at the track) are putting silicon pancake spatulas on their control arms to direct air over the caliper. This is all in an attempt to cool the brakes and the resulting lap time decreases are amazing. I personally am not a person that runs 1/4 mile, I prefer winding roads and lots of breaking and the covers help in this type of driving. I know NoynuR did not ask about cooling brakes. However as a style option I did want to throw the concept out there.

I dont know how you can actually be stuck... I have so many mods on my list I can't even finish them all (due to financial difficulties) lol.

Paint the tail light bezels black and paint your mufflers with BBQ or stove paint. Makes everything blend in. I have a CGM too and it blends in but it POPS alot more than I thought it would.
