09 touring with red calipers?

speedfreek · 04-10-2014, 10:59 AM

Is it a Touring + Sport Pkg? If so the owner had the brakes painted/powdercoated.

If it is just a Touring model the previous owner likely bought the Akebono BBK new or used. If it was a used '09-'12 set they had them powdercoated red. They could of got a set of the '13+ which come red from the factory.

^^ It could also be base brakes that someone painted red. Without pics and a description of the calipers we dont know.

Now who would do a silly thing like that? No one in their right mind would want to draw more attention to base brakes. If anything I would get them painted black.

Hard to say without pics OP. Are the calipers the sliding/floating type or fixed? Any markings?
