Yay or nay on Brembo color

A buddy of mine sent me this wallpaper tonight at work since we're going to re-paint my Brembo's in a week or so. I kinda like the way the yellow stands out, and my Evo has a similar color scheme (apex silver and blacked out stockers)....But my gut tells me the reason the calipers look so good is simply the Merc's they are on lol. Anyway what do you guys think?

I think yellow calipers also indicate carbon ceramic brakes...So I dunno if I want to look like a poser.

Go for it... I think the yellow is very tasteful with the black rims and silver paint. I would add a clear coat on top of the yellow though.

Post pics when your done.

Yeah, someone painted it gold without the flakes on their evo on this site and it looks really good.

Personally, I think Red still looks the best.

On the LY Evo I think they look great.

On a silver Mercedes not so good.

I say go for it and do what you like. You don't have to have a Mercedes to paint them yellow. That's like saying you can't put an Evo IX turbo in an Evo VIII.
