Trying to get some suggestion on what brakes and calipers to get. i really dont like the look of the calipers on the base 370z. Trying to get something that would look nice and perform well.

Check the parts for sale section. There was at least one set of the Akebono sport brakes for sale recently. That's one possibility. Or you could go all out and get a BBK (Stoptech, AP Racing, etc). That's a lot of money to spend for looks though, especially if you don't plan to use your car as a track or race car.

If it's just about looks, then you could get a Caliper Painting Kit from any auto shop to change the appeal??
