hahaha this is classic, especially with that avatar.

I thought about painting my calipers too, but for some reason they look extra small after the paint job.

Time consuming for sure. Not too bad though. Half day job

Yea, I enjoy the small accents that change the cars look pretty dramatically!
I'll have to do this mod soon =D

My WRB STI with red calipers looked great. Especially with Subaru stenciled on them.

Did the same! Definitely a cheap but time consuming mod

Where'd you get those 86 center caps?! very nice.

I don't plan on getting BBKs until early next year, so I may have the shop do this for me... Just to have some damned Contrast!

Another option... Caliper covers

Let's be honest, we would do fake calipers on our cars if we could get away with it... Problem is we can easily spot something like that and label it "cheap" or "cheesy" and disapprove. If I can tell, so can everyone else... sucks, but that's life.

this thread makes me want bbk =[

lol, funny thing is at SEMA, I asked every company making a BBK for the FRS if I would even need a BBK even if I considered myself an avid track guy (which I'm not)... and they said just get a pad and rotor swap haha... doesn't help the small caliper look though right?

I may try this G2 stuff in black, just to keep things looking a bit cleaner maybe.

Looks good! It's nice to see someone take the time to mask off the pads, lines, and rotors and not get in there a spray all willy nilly. Great touch with the emblem detail work
