They're brighter than they look in the pic. I'm happy with them... What do you guys think?

Honestly, should have paint matched or went grey or black.

IMO, painting a stock calliper any color is questionable

More pics with a slightly better cam:

^it looks off.
kinda like when some one's clothes dont match.

you get an A+ for effort tho.
A "C-" for delivery.

DatDereTL

^ I appreciate your opinion. I think it looks good. Again, they are brighter/look better IRL.

DatDereTL

Bump.

You did a good job on them =)

Not a fan of the colour, though.

DatDereTL

Thanks.

Guess I just wanted to be original, and not paint them black/red like everyone else painted theirs on here. I'm happy with them, and that's all that matters.

Much nicer than painting them fire engine red, for sure.

DatDereTL

Yes.

Would go perfect with the smurf blue 17's I saw posted in a different thread! lol. But again, to each his own

Negative. IMO stock silver looks very cheap when you have a more "open" wheel design (you, of course, should know given the sheer volume of wheels which have been on your car). Had to go with black:

I was actually just going to add, paint it black if anything, so it gets lost in the wheel well. There is absolutely no aesthetic appeal about stock brakes, why make it pop out more?

DatDereTL

^Dam, that does look good.

ttribe

The advantage of the black with the stock calipers is that the shims largely blend in (at least the black ones that come with the A Spec pads do). This creates an illusion of the calipers being a little larger than they really are. The "puniness" of the stock caliper is one of the aesthetic drawbacks when you start changing out the wheels on these TLs.

ttribe

Thanks...unless you were talking about bforbrian's avatar.

DatDereTL

No, I was talking about your calipers. Though, his avatar does look good. What porno is that from bro? Lol.
This.

I painted mine gold on my NBP CL. I think gold would look really good on your car too

DatDereTL

^you think so? i mean, i do have a brand new gold can sitting in my garage lol

SimonCL-S6

Yeah. I think the blue looks pretty good but like the others said it doesnt flow very well. You can try painting it gold, if u dont like it you can always re paint it blue. This is my car with gold calipers, dont mind the ugly rims i dont have those anymore =]

Where do you guys get black paint that you apply with a brush. Like a brake caliper paint kit. I found some at Canadian Tire, Duplicolor like this : http://www.canadiantire.ca/AST/brows....jsp?locale=en

They don't have black paint and they said they didn't for a while so what are you guys using and where are you getting it from?
