my gun metallic Z sport brakes match body?

UNKNOWN_370 · 09-15-2011, 12:16 AM

I had an 09 Z and my brakes were black. My GM Z brakes are gun metallic as well. Is this a mistake or have the color of the brakes changed? Or is this something only on the GM Z's?

I know the Infiniti Akebonos are painted silver. Perhaps they're doing the same for the Nissan versions now too.

Mine aren't silver. They are GM just like the car.

i have an 11 GM also. I didnt think the calipers were the same color, they seem a little darker.

now I have to go look!

The calipers should be close to the K11 paint code.

Calipers have always been a dark grey
