There should have been an option for, "I would like them red but it's not a big deal."

I doubt decals will work. The heat will burn them off if you drive it like I plan to. It'll have to be some type of enamel.

Option 3 makes no sense, isnt parts bin grey still a colour? I voted for it anyway

Speedy1975 · 11-06-2008, 12:33 PM

So far 103 out of 134 want the Brembos to be some other color than the grey. That's a 3:1 ratio of those that want colored Brembos.

OK, but grey, silver, that's just semantics really isn't it? The point is most people expect Brembos to show red calipers denoting they're HP.

no, that would be if he said ". . . their HP . . . ", meaning "the horse power that they have . . . " . In this case, the intended statement would be " . . . they are high performance . . . "

Remember: They're using their words wrong over there.

OK, now you're just getting off topic.....of course I'll be putting Type R decals on my Camaro but that's another thread entirely.

Bawhaha, now I get it. I thought he was kidding thus my reply.

headpunter · 11-06-2008, 05:05 PM

sorry never thought of high performance as HP....my bad

*GTAHVIT* · 11-06-2008, 05:45 PM

Either way, I'm putting a rear window V-Spec sticker on mine. That should make my camaro at least as fast as a ZR1. I'll need a new tranny though.

I'm glad the topic of brake color has come up. True, the silver will go with any body color, but they'll look like standard brakes at just a few feet away. I'd like a color that will stand out a bit, letting people know this car has the best brakes in the world, without grabbing too much attention.
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??
