My 2009 G37x has the stock calipers on it which are just the ugly rough metal. I would like to get the infiniti branded ones, like attached.

Is this something a dealership would do? Or a separate aftermarket shop that does more custom things? And if so, how do you decide on a reputable shop? I live in the Silicon Valley area.

Would I buy these myself and take them somewhere? Not sure how to go about doing this. I want to be able to trust whoever installs them, and the parts themselves.

on eBay they are called "SPORT AKEBONO", is this correct?

 

Akebono makes the brakes for Nissan/Infiniti.

 

If you are willing to pay, the dealership can order and install these brakes for you.

and yes they are akebono, similar to brembo, wilwood, ect.

 

Your looking at about $1400 for the parts and a few hours labor for the install, also your stock wheels may not clear the big brakes and you'll need a new spare tire from an S model.

 

getting new wheels would be way too much money just for aesthetics.

anything else I could do to make that ugly pot-metal look better?

 

I painted mine a couple years ago w/ an Infiniti logo decal, looks better than stock and painting them black doesn't draw attention to your "base" brakes

 

Hey man any pics, When I replace my calipers I'm thinking of doing that too

 

Here you go Mike, like I said just the "base" brakes (and my old wheels and my wrapped headlights , lol)

 

You almost need a BBK with a spoke wheel like that as they draw so much attention to the inner rotor. They can be pricey to upgrade though.

 

what kind of paint did you use?

also what kind of decal is it that isn't burning off right away?
