I'm already working on those decals...

Is it a decal or is the logo silk-screened? i'm not so sure that a decal would hold-up to the heat.

The Black Brembos look cool too!

Big fan of the red myself. Now...if they offered them in blue.

I was considering painting the calipers on my V6 red, but it almost seems like too much effort and honestly it would just draw attention away from the wheels I put on it, which I want to be the real eye-grabber.

In a somewhat related question - how hard is it to do a brake line swap? I've never had to do any brake work before (I know! Crazy, right?) but I've heard changing from rubber lines to braided steel significantly improves braking performance.
