Although I agree adding an accent color would make it pop, I am really focused on doing something very different. I will be adding a subtle accent but It will be less "in your face" than calipers and more in the fine details. Red would look good, but is way too "safe"...I find it's the idea's that everyone thinks are the dumbest, that end up getting the most compliments and attention.
Also, I only had one car equipped with Brembo Brakes in the past and my experience with them was horrible. Albeit, I was rough on them at times, It felt I was constantly replacing pads, and rotors. And after a few rounds of hard braking the rotors brakes would feel mushy and the rotors would warp surprisingly fast.
Are stop-techs any better? Or has Brembo made any substantial changes since the 4 piston calipers that came factory on the Evoloution 8?
But thanks for checking out the thread. Pull up a seat...I have a few big additions coming in the next 2-3 months...

Large drilled colored brakes on an otherwise monochromatic car can really make it into one bad ass MOFO:

I have StopTechs (380/365 drilled rotors) and they are fantastic. They provide similar feel as the stock brakes in everyday driving but provide a huge advantage at faster tracks on hot days where the cooling capacity of the stock brakes is limited. Changing the pads is simple and a reason why many people that track will avoid Brembo. If your stock Brembos on your evo were anything like the ones on my STI, then they were pure junk....but the ones designed for the M3 are surely much better.
