If you have warranty the dealership will replace your brembos.Thats what I did when I saw sun fade on them.

went from this:

Now MR BBS. I had fun painting the stock enkeis because I always hated them.I got a lot of good responses with the gold painted 8's.Graphite just looks like a dirty wheel to most. Love your car so far.

The car looks way better with the wing on! and the gray rims look good also, very nice car.
A little off-topic, what rotors do you have installed? brand? price? place to get? Thanks and post pics with the BBS

The wheels look great! Just a word of warning though, it looks like you are using "tuner" style lug nuts, with the tapered seats. You should only use the stock lug nuts, with the washers, on stock wheels. The ones you have can come loose over time.
