Default What you guys think of my brakes?

Well i got I wanted to paint my calipars because i wanted to stand out. racing red looks great on a FM tC. I only have pic of my front calipars right now. I can't find my camara cable so i can't upload the pic's with the wheels on and while in motion. But tell me what you guys think. I added a little something special on the brakes to make them look that much nicer.


This is my front left calipar. Now they look great and shine great but now for extra touch that i have not seen on any tC yet.(maybe thier out there but i havn't seen it on SL.) Here are my Stock Racing red // TRD Calipars.

It was OK (good paint job) until I saw the TRD sticker. They're not TRD brakes so why advertise that they are?

i never liked painted stock calipers because of the textured(bumpy) exterior. aftermarket calipers are smooth so it looks nicer. the textured/bumpy shine from the red paint reminds me of the gloss of a beating heart or an internal organ. lol.

I've had them on for over a year with no issues.

well most of the gloss has gone away after a week of brake dust on it. Plus the paint it's peeling off so i'm happy with the turn out. After a car wash the paint is this bleming wit shine.
