red brake calipers...

i like the look of the red brembos but i can't see paying $7-8K for the full big brake set. is there some sort of cheaper solution? i've looked around and haven't found one...i'm really just looking for cosmetic reasons - not performance.

search ebay for brembo covers... u can get plastic covers that just go over ur callipers..the more u pay the more realistic they get with metal screws, bleed nipples etc etc

Or get some caliper paint and DIY if you just want the contrast of the color.

Wow those covers are a really cheap way of getting that look. Damn I guess I gotta go order some now. They had a small/med/large size, which size do you think would go on the 745?

looks cool to me!

i think i'd probably go the paint route before getting plastic/fiberglass covers...

I think im about to order those covers right now. Thats crazy how they can sell them, they ever say brembo right on there.

I think I have seen some ads in the past in BMW magazines of the red Willwood brakes - looked exaclty like Brembos.

id rather do the covers...that way you can easily take the car back to stock. Pair those covers with some drilled rotors and you're sure to get some looks.

Thats what I was thinking also.

If u guys all start bidding on ebay now and pushing the prices up I aint gonna be happy!! Knew i shoulda kept my mouth shut!!!
On a serious note though just make sure u actually see a picture of the ones they are selling not just a generic brembo picture as the quality changes ALOT and some just look really really sh1te!! (make sure u get the right ones for front and back or ur goin to look really stupid if u run the backs up front and vice verser!!) Apart from that with good rotors they look the buisness!!
