Quick Opinion 2

Because i found out i can not customize my grill today, i think i will color my brake callipers white. Would this look good and is it worth $40 including intallation. I have stock rims and my car is white, had anyone does this. I dont want it to look cheap, i just want it look clean.

I have red ones that i did myself. Really easy and like 5 bucks. Where did you get the $40 from?

They arent too hard to clean but get dirty so white might be a pain. i think someone on here has white ones though

Red or yellow rocks! White will turn black quick and you can't see black too well. I have seen some INDUSTIRAL orange and they look ok, not my bag though. Red or yellow for me!

where did u get the paint at, the pe motoring, the local import shop is charging 25 for the paint and 15 for the intallation, they said they will take off the calliper and paint it completely, i dont want to do it because i am afraid i am going to spray the paint everywher. Did u guys use the paint thats specifically for the callipers or just any paint.

I got red too. Its pretty easy to do yourself. Alot of people just mask theres off, but w/ two bolts you can completely remove them. I left the brake lines attached and just held them in place with a wire hanger wrapped around the suspension.
