So I have a dilemma on my hands...

IOM SS - The options:

Clean and clear the stock Brembos
Gloss black with orange Brembo lettering
Orange with black Brembo lettering

I love brakes that stand out. However, I think orange would be over-doing it. Opinions?

TJ's MARO · 05-12-2011, 10:37 PM

i think the red looks amazing on any car color. imo

StlRomAniaN · 05-12-2011, 10:38 PM

Hmm, red seems too generic. I like how red looks on black though.

pogiskier · 05-12-2011, 10:44 PM

Red for me! My car is Black!

SSBUSDRVR · 05-12-2011, 10:48 PM

Black with IOM or Vice Versa would look great imho.

AUS10BMX · 05-12-2011, 10:51 PM

What color are your wheels? Polished or midnight silver?

StlRomAniaN · 05-12-2011, 11:03 PM

They are midnight silver. In a couple years I'll be getting the D2Forged MB1's in a granite/graphite finish.

Hetfield03 · 05-12-2011, 11:25 PM

Heres what mine look like. They're on order.

StlRomAniaN · 05-12-2011, 11:36 PM

Ugh, caliper covers. :/ To each his own.

Hetfield03 · 05-12-2011, 11:39 PM

Yeah I like em. Reduces brake dust on the rims.

2010 SSRS · 05-12-2011, 11:41 PM

Orange with Black lettering will look awesome.

Hmmm... With those wheels I'd say either black with orange lettering, or a bright silver with orange lettering. I think orange calipers would just be too much.

I have caliper covers, but I would never put covers over Brembos, Id just have them powder coated! Good luck with your choice.

IOM w/ black Brembo decals would look SIC

I think orange calipers would be too much orange. Black with orange lettering is what my opinion is.
