I've never been a fan of drawing attention to tiny standard brakes. I saw calipers done in hammerite silver and they looked cool but still OEM.

OEM is cool man :)

J/K Whilst I agree that some aftermarket brakes are better, there is not much wrong with the OEM set up with some nice Stainless lines, good pads/fluid and cooling.

For fast road use that is IMHO.

Standard brakes have lovely feel, so i wouldn't change them until you have to either.

Which is why I went satin black when I changed the discs. Now you dont notice the brakes, just the wheel.

Nice detailing with the NSX logo.

That's exactly how I would do mine if/when I have the time.

Looks fantastic - a job well done :D

Looks good Amo. Did you file the NSX letters flat before painting them red, or just paint on top of the back paint?

They look great as red letters matches the car colour. I need 2 re do my as the gold faded 2 a greeny gold, yuk!! Any suggestions 4 my Sebring silver body with OEM alloys? maybe red with black letters? Got smittened with gold calls on LBB, so thought they looked good on silver! Also finally got CD casette out with creditcard (cheers Matt), but same error code E01 even after pulling clock fuse, is pulling the clock fuse same as unplugging Bose CD & replugging? Is CD on permanent live? Cheers :confused:

Satin Black with maybe the NSX logo in Silver would classy against the Sebring. IMO, red only works when its got Brembo running thro' the middle of it. Any light color will look at odds and isnt a good choice as the calipers are less then perfect finish.
