Brake calipers
 
Hey guys
anyone have any cool aftermarket brake calipers.
I have a 2016 370z base in silver with the black rims
the car looks so nice to me stock - but I really want some color on the brake calipers.

Send me some pics if you have any

any suggestions for color - i was thinking yellow or maybe blue

If you're just wanting them colored why not have them powder coated? If you want bang for buck buy a used set of Sport Package calipers & rotors.

Note to driver: Track days will suck the color out of your calipers.

My red stoptech's turned Pink after a few track days.

:tiphat:

Paint or plastic eBay caliper covers fulfill the poser needs sufficiently

Run them on the track and they'll melt into an artistic display of cheap plastic, ruining your brakes and possibly your wheels ;)

The Venn diagram of "Guys who go to the track" and "Guys who buy plastic caliper covers" do not overlap.

Thats why i said they'll fulfill poser needs. Not track needs.

Brake caliper covers are fine when ur parking at in and out.

Get some used sport calipers and have Mike powder coat them. He can do any color you want.

Lol if OP is asking for suggestion on "cool" calipers and the focus is clearly aesthetic, then there is no need for us to go above and beyond to mention fading paint due to heat on track.

Is Mike back to doing this? I thought he stopped?

Allright allright... figured i'd give the benefit of the doubt.

I would like to see what happens when you liquify your caliper covers lmao

I thought he was asking for suggestions on how to lower the temperature of the calipers :rolleyes:
