Brembo painting time - Opinions needed for WDP
 
So this is my tl as it sits. Im going to be getting the rims powdercoated a dark gunmetal for more of a shine. They are satin grey now. Also! the brembos will be painted but I am stuck between lexus starfire pearl or a goldish bronze flake.

If I go with the goldish bronze flake I will get gold lugs and If I go with the white im not sure on lug colour.

Red adds the most horsepower.

wojo1988 03-11-2013 07:52 PM

Red wouldnt look good on white at all

princelybug 03-11-2013 07:53 PM

Red.

wojo1988 03-11-2013 07:56 PM

Candy apple red?

DaeHanMeenGuk 03-11-2013 07:59 PM

teal.

abrieluno 03-11-2013 08:04 PM

Teal

CLtotheTL32 03-11-2013 08:09 PM

My love for teal is catching on :woot:

Between the two colors you listed, go for bronze. White calipers would look great but not if the white is a totally different shade or pearl color. A deep candy red with white Brembo lettering would look great but it might not stand out as much as you would like.

jgj925 03-11-2013 08:44 PM

most people do teal...but it does look really good on wdp

guitarplayer16 03-11-2013 08:44 PM

ZonerYang 03-11-2013 09:05 PM

Steven Bell 03-11-2013 09:18 PM

I say go for the horsepower!

My buddy has the same WDP and red looks great.

White and blacks cars can get away with almost any color whether its on wheels, calipers, etc

jon2000 03-11-2013 10:56 PM

I vote black! :tomato: Red does look great as well but looks dull from brake dust in no time.

JTS97Z28 03-11-2013 11:02 PM

Teal???? What the heck is wrong with some of you guys, why make your brake calipers stand out using a color like that? Uuuuugllyyy
My vote goes to keeping them the original gloss black. Keep it clean and simple looking. No reason to do any silly colors.

zachlone 03-12-2013 07:17 AM

I think the goldish bronze would look good! I do love the teal too tho!

brandon7583 03-12-2013 07:21 AM

Purple for torque gains.

Sick TLS 03-12-2013 12:49 PM

I'm a bit biased so I'd say teal :)

Bronze is nice as well though.

EvilVirus 03-12-2013 01:05 PM

Hey sick, you painted them or powder coated?

Sick TLS 03-12-2013 01:07 PM

painted!

JTS97Z28 03-12-2013 01:24 PM

Go teal if you wanna turn your car into a teenage boys dream car. Keep them black or paint them gold if you want to keep it clean and classy. I wouldnt do gold on my own personal car, but I know they come that way factory on many cars and they look great, and the pictures posted above look awesome on the TL-S with gold calipers!

Thanks James :toocool:

Q_ShipTL 03-12-2013 01:49 PM

I've heard that red adds 5-10 HP per caliper, but if you want REAL power add a bunch of decals on your ride! :thumbsup:

That has to be the worst comeback I've read on azine thus far.

Q_ShipTL 03-12-2013 03:36 PM

Has nothing to do with short temper and thick skin. There is NO need for you guys to be a bunch of douchebags, but that is your lose and it does tell me a lot about what sort of people you are. Enjoy your pink brakes.

Undying Dreams 03-12-2013 03:42 PM

Q...you started it...you were(are) the douche bag.
