Thanks for the pics I was up in the air about what color Brembos to order and I wanted to custom order them in wait. I think I decided.

I don't like red and yellow wouldn't quite fit the profile, I think White looks awesome on White.

I feel the red stands out way too much. I didn't want to get into a white/black on red them with my car especially with CF parts and such.
I want to get them straight from Brembo painted white, its cost a little more, but they look so much better on AW than the other choices.
Especially because I'm getting a new set of track wheels which will be flat black from CCW I think those look really hot.

Thanks for all the pics!! Any more?

How do you like the 5D? I just got a 50D and it is MORE than enough for my level ....at least for now. Just posted a few pics of today's track day and a few shots on my M3...the camera is amazing.
BTW: Your car looks great with those calipers...

5 d mark II is awesome, the capabilities of shooting in 1080p then snapping a hi res image is amazing...i'm actually ok with it i just snapped those images real quick, and it was hella sunny out, i'll snap some more later with a tripod and the sun starts to go down. my car is in between set ups right now i'll post a pic of it now but when i get my new wheels it will be painted again. probably in 2 weeks

The paint scheme on the hood was a boner kill for me. The gunmetal on white wheel/brake combo is awesome though.

I would leave it. More contrast this way with the black wheels.
