i might go check out the colours tomorrow, they are a bit hard to determine on the web. i liked the blue but it might be a bit ricey lol. red might be the safe option.

cheers mate :)

Scroll till you find the silver brembos with blue decals. If you can't afford brembos get some STI 4/2 pots done in the same colour

Since I haven't got any saved to do so, I might just have to settle for painting the stock ones until I can save or find some really cheap

Or you could just go for the look:

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NEW-HOLDEN-COMMODORE-VT-VN-VZ-VS-VV-HSV-BRAKE-CALIPER-COVER-/300703133961?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item46034db109

They're just covers that go over the top of your current brakes.

To be honest, I have a bit of a problem with the fitment of these - the video in the link shows that you glue them on to your current calipers; I just don't feel comfortable with this.

You can also just buy the decals if you feel you really have to have the Brembo look.

cheers,

bj

Thanks bj I did come accross these on eBay however I am not a fan of fake stuff. I would rather save up and go genuine :) but that's just my opinion

Those brembo covers are terrible, glad you aren't using them. I can't believe people would do that.
