The whole car is black and blue and they used a shiny aluminum gas cap!

A black cap would look so much better.

I love the fire red! Close color match to the car, the second choice for me would be the silver with red lettering or graphite grey with red lettering. Something that looks like a natural metal or even a polished look that is easy to clean

I meant something more tame. It's just a hard decision for me.I haven't decided 100% on 13" or 14" rotors. Are you recommending a 1 piece rotor?

I like the 14” 2 piece rotors that I have from stop tech, I went with slotted only but wish they were zinc coated as I see a little rust coloring where the pads don’t touch near the hat

I like the graphite grey with red lettering on your color combination Brady.

The Gold or Arizona would stand out too much since you have chrome/polished wheels. And there are no other colors on your car matching those colors.

The fire red are really nice, but I think they are too bright in my opinion.

Brady, are you getting nearer to making a decision?
Yeah, I'm likely going with the graphite grey. I need to check on pricing, see if I can get a better deal from a vendor.

I vote Aztec Gold.
I like it when the calipers pop. The silver ones look too much like the stockers, IMHO.

Check beefcake racing website. Had 15 percent off around black Friday.

I would wait for that. Baer has 10 percent usually around that time and lethal had a one day sale.

15 percent was the best I found last year and when I pulled the trigger.

Beefcake website is easy to use and they were good at keeping me informed on progress.

If you now you won't go back to stock wheels then go for the 14s.

Awesome thanks for the heads up! Looks like I'll upgrade the rears as well.

I've had that setup on my car for 10 years now. No rust anywhere. Just be careful breaking them in, while you're getting the zinc coating off the contact area.

Let me know if interested, I can probably get you the hook up.
I'll have to check with the vendor to see if they carry them. If you are interested.
Awesome. I'll send you a pm.

Love seeing members helping members.

Those brakes are going to look good on your Cobra, Brady.
