Default Big... Reds???

I'm curious if anyone has powder coated their Big Reds in other colors besides red. I'm kind of wondering what different colors might look like on my car (gulf blue maybe?). I know Rufus has big yellow Ruf brakes and I think Scott M has big blue brakes. Anyone else powder-coat theirs an interesting color???

I'd search, but the search functionality will be disrupted until Thursday morn...

mine are yellow, but I don't think they would do much on a silver car. I would think silver or red would look nice.

Red looks good on silver, but look up the Werks 1 - it had a pretty cool mettalic orange on the calipers. With the blue tint of polar, gulf blue might be an interesting option.

mine were baked in the oven also. my wife said I wasn't going to use "her" oven. I reminded her who paid for the oven. and yes, we are still happily married

I'll ask Walrod next time I see him (which is like once every two years!).

I was just bored sitting around waiting for a screening and my mind was wandering. I realized I'm getting bored with red calipers. Just looking for ideas now though. I'm not fully committed yet.

That orange looks awesome on that car!

They look cool on the G35, but I don't think I'm sold for the 993.

As an aside, are they EVER going to get "search" to work again???


Found these on 6speed:
