The teal brembo's

Since I put on my teal brembo's I got from John (Powell Race Shop) this week and I washed my car today, I decided to share some pictures. I really like how the calipers turned out, and imho they look good on my srtc ss/tc. This is also one of my first time shooting with a dslr, so I hope you guys will enjoy the pics.

That colour combo is definitively a love/hate thing. I am happy with my choice and didn't wanted gold / red / black brakes as everyone got these. I like the srtc colour, but honestly it is hard to pick colours that match well with it, w/o using plains colours that are used all the time. Now I need to get the rears done, + the im, valve cover etc....


edit : I am surprised no one is bashing the 4x4 stance yet...

I absolutely LOVE that color on those Brembo's.

Unfortunately, I can't see it working with the color of the car I'm really trying to see it, but I can't.

Do the backs and maybe they'll grow on me

They are a bit darker in person, it makes them flow better with the srtc. But I do have other parts to do and probably change the color of the wheels before it looks better...
