Question Chage oem GT Brembo calipers to red?

Has anyone with a GT Brembo, changed your calipers to Red (including the back ones)? (please post photo). How did you did it? Cost? Did it last without damage?

Those look damn good, what did it cost you to pick up a set of used brembo's with the re-build and powdercoating?

908 - did you upgrade your rear calipers as well? or are those the standard rear brakes that come on brembo equipped cars?

I'm still trying to figure out what color I want to paint mine. I want them to pop as well, the oem dark blue color just hides those big brakes. been thinking about the brembo orange color. I may not go the powdercoating route, I may have a stab at one of the g2 caliper paint kits.

The rear calipers are a custom install I did. They are rear Brembo mono block radial mount calipers for a Porsche. The nearest thing available is from Baer.

I got seals from Zackhausen.

I had a local powder coat them wasn't much can't remember exactly.

I am interested in upgrading my rear calipers but I don't even know where to begin researching my options. it's mainly a cosmetic change for me, just to have rear brembos/get them painted the same color.

if you have some spare time I'd love to hear more about your custom job and the option from Baer.
