Don a few bits last night. Brought the brembos back to life with a coat of paint and some new stickers I think they turned out well and stand out now. I also done the middle section of the front splitter black with the spoiler and a bit of the side skirts. I sprayed them matte black to start with but thought that it all looked a bit flat so went for a satin finish.

Was thinking about it but dont know what what to it. I have seen a few pics with just the bottom bit of the back bumper and a few with only a small section in the middle on the bottom and cant decide what to do with it. The paint was not fully dried in the pics so they are not as shiny as it looks matte black just didnt stand out as well.

that looks so awesome, funny what a bit of paint does to the look of the car.

The black parts are not my cup of tea, but the brakes are great for sure.
Did mine last year and a little bit of work make a day and night difference.

@ Evo4032, you can leave them on if you want. Just cover the disc and your body and spray on. Mostly you only use clear paint though, so it isn't that hard to do.

Breaks

@Evo4032 I done mine in place once you spend a bit of time doing the taping up and covering all around the callipers its a easy enough job.

My brother has a Evo1 400bhp :shock::shock: and has just done a brembo upgrade front and back so we done them before fitting them the results were the same.
