Just looking to get some input on what you guys would suggest for my next cosmetic Mod. I ditched the quarter louvers and am glad i did. Also do you think the car would look good with the brembo's powdercoated gloss black?

could be cheaper to buy the GT500 brembo from Tousley. That's what I did. Sold my stock calipers for what I paid for the GT500 calipers (-$100 for the core charge)

I wouldn't change anything personally. I mean the Brembos would be cool, but no need to go crazy. Car looks great as it is!

i wish they would have done them in RED or Gloss black. not a huge fan of the flat black calipers. I think the gloss would look way better

calipers

$430 from Tousley + $100 core; new rotorpro rotors were $320; Goodridge lines were $125; HPS pads were $65

Sold all my stock stuff for $750 the day it came off the car (i think its a reasonable price) so I spent $290 on brake upgrade. Rotors are sitting in my office.

I was gonna powdercoat my stock caliper gloss black but these GT500 calipers were not that expensive. My car does stop better but this is probably a relfection of Hawk pads all around, stainless lines, and Super Blue fluid change.

God I love Sterling Grey. I really hope it ends up being one of the colors used to replace the once affected by Japan. Has that been officially announced yet?

Car looks awesome.

I agree with you on painting the calipers. One other thing I would do is tint the side markers.
