Back to Black!

SlammedR8 · 04-08-2010, 09:43 AM

Just went by to see my car which is at the body shop for a few small things and I decided to get rid of the white calipers as the new wheels I ordered will be Brushed aluminum with chrome lips, so the white caliper doesn't flow for me with brushed finish. So I went back to black calipers, but I kept the ///M stickers to make them look a bit nicer then the plain black.

For those who never saw the white caliper setup...

And the NEW setup.........

The black looks great, although I thought the white was very nice as well!

Green///Hell · 04-08-2010, 11:48 AM

I had brembo in white bad idea lol
They will get super dirty like prostitute dirty and than the color faded when I stressed them passed their limit at the track after an hour long session

1MOREMOD · 04-08-2010, 11:55 AM

DCMETRO22Z · 04-08-2010, 12:13 PM

you're obviously not a ACDC fan, because in this case you would have called the thread BACK IN BLACK

Just kidding bro. Calipers looks great

Not sure, just wanted an alternating set of track wheels, wouldn't run those as a street setup. They look super cool tho

Probably much easier to maintain this way... The brake dust from the OEM pads FTL. Looks good man!

BCA · 04-08-2010, 02:36 PM

The black brake setup looks awesome

Those lug bolts look like shit though. I hope you're getting some new ones with the wheels.

I was waiting for someone to comment on them...
I had my rears painted, they look brand new. the fronts will be done this week too! Its because I have spacers, so Im running extended lugs.
