Redo them silver or black and keep the Infiniti sticker off. The blue just looks bad on there. No disrespect.

The base brakes aren't something that I would recommend adding attention-grabbing color to. A black or Silver paint just to clean up the look a bit & blend rather than shout.

Looks like you did a good job but now people will notice your base
floating-caliper small brakes, and your new 5 spoke 20s will emphasize the small rotors. But you rocked the wheel/tire fit and your drop looks proper so you're winning

No disrespect taken, I accept all feed back. I can't expect to not get any negative feedback it comes with the territory. It's my first true leap in the modding world so keep the feedback coming and I will adjust accordingly as long as the funds can handle it Lol. With that being said, I thought about silver but I figured it would've been too bland etc, and the sticker I thought would've been a nice touch, I was completely wrong I guess. You know when trying too much makes it look worse, I guess that's what happened. I now know for next season, thanks Bro

Hahaha I can see that, and it's more than welcomed. I was going so well with the modding and I kinda wet too much, but I'll rectify when I can. Thank you both

Looking at it now, I can agree the small brakes stand out much more, compared to if they were silver it would have blended right in, but to be honest I don't think it looks that bad, however I want it to look GREAT and others to look at it and nod with appreciation not choke in disgust Hahaha. I mean, don't care what nobody says we mod our cars for ourselves and the attention, and definitely not negative attention Lol So question now is, what's the easiest way to take off the blue paint?

At least you're open to criticism, many are not

No need to remove the blue paint, just put a couple coats of the silver, gray, or black over the blue, just a light sand of the blue to smooth over the stickers (if you can't remove them). Here's my previous base calipers that I painted black w/ a small Infiniti logo applied~PLEASE IGNORE THE HEADLIGHT OVERLAYS, that was one of my gutterballs

That looks sick, I asked the guy if I could get the logo and he said no I couldn't do it. Looking at it now, What if I did silver with a black logo or exactly what you have there, would it look good with the machine finish rims I have? I should've consulted the group befoe leaping off the deep end, ugh, so frustrating

It's your car, do with it as you please. To heck with everyone else. I want to paint my sedan to look like a BRE Datsun 510 race car from the late Sixties. I couldn't care less what anyone else thinks about it. Only down side would be resale value.

That too is very true. That color scheme would be very unique to say the least

Brad... they'll hate you for it, but that's the point of Batman, he can be the outcast. He can make the choice that no one else can make.

tbh I don't even think the blue is that bad but those letters HAVE to go.

Taking off the blue paint will be a nightmare, just repaint it black or silver.

So I don't have to sand off the blue paint before repainting? Where can I get the Logo, I really like that touch.
