Leaning that way but now someone else has that color too :11:

The purple haze would not be as subtle at all. Trying to envision the gunmetal now too.... However, and I forgot to mention this, I'm probably going to match the engine bay to the calipers. I think. Maybe. Probably. That's the plan anyway.

I agree. Black to match on the perimeter, and gunmetal on the slats. That would be amazing (as I see it in my head.)

That's even better than what I was thinking. Originally I was thinking going back to chrome but the gunmetal would be even nicer I do believe. Thank you sir! :biggthumpup:

Well? Did they get delivered yet???

OP hit the nail on the head IMO

Color of the R35 brakes is what I'd go for, the OEM silver finish is OK (pretty boring), but I think gold/copper finish is sportier without being gaudy. Black car w gunmetal rims and this color brakes = perfection

I would love to see the UV color on your car, Rex! I think it would look great. I'm having a tough decision deciding between an metallic royal-ish blue color, burnt copper, or some sort of purple. I'm only thinking purple because I think I'm going to go for a set of D2 coilovers seeing as the BCs aren't getting fixed anytime soon.

What do you like thus far?

Cool. And yep. Pics in my thread later, although you know exactly what they look like. But I like taking pictures, so...

That Blue ultraviolet one looks nice. I might have to paint mine that color when I upgrade the brakes.

I was trying to find the words to say, and you sir, have nailed it.

With your black wheels the dark blue (although gorgeous) might stay a bit more hidden. I like the pop of the yellow but w/ a bit more subtle shade teh burnt copper & black seems to me to be a good compromise between pop & subtle. And to top it off the burnt copper would look killer in your engine bay.

Lol, Christoph Walz was awesome in that one! ^^^^

You know, I love my Akebono BBK, but all these pictures of AMG and Brembo 6-piston calipers are making me feel a little inadequate.
