The other side is black. Lol. Actually...wait...I might not have to paint anything. I still have the old bracket that came off the old caliper sitting in the garage. I can just throw it back on in 10 minutes. Then both sides would be the same. I'm not sure how it will look painted red, it might look cheap. I probably won't get around to doing it tomorrow anyway.

Looks good, I'd repaint mine but since I have the pony on the front calipers it makes it a pita to do it....

+1 paint the brackets black. It would be too much if you painted everything red IMO.

All these other people dont know what they are talking about! ^^^

Cobra spec calipers look good with the black bracket and red calipers... The gt/v6 brakes do not IMO...

Just paint the whole thing... I did my brake pads too, but i always loved it when i had those brakes




This is the red/black theme everybody is talkin about and i think it looks like complete ***...



But if you have the red black theme goin with cobra spec brakes, it looks great... Amazing huh?


I mean, you obviously don't have to do the brake pads also, but i would do the brackets red... Just me of course. It's your car so decide for yourself!

Just use any paint... I like to spray paint calipers. I hate seeing brush stroke lines
