First retail customer in the country on the road with this...(Pics)

Nola 32/65 · 07-16-2014, 02:05 AM

I believe this car will be the first car in the country (besides the manufacture's vehicles) to have this done to the brakes and on the road! Pretty cool I think.

My fiancé was going to get the calipers powder coated BMW blue but we were told about this recently and really liked the idea of it and as you can tell, its pretty close to the BMW blue. I know this is not for everyone but we've gotten a lot of positive feedback so far on it.

From the shops FB Page
"Here at EAS we are proud to announce one of the first few of our cars rolling out with our signature Highlighter Brake Calipers. Making this the first BMW M3 in the country with these. We enjoy bringing new services to our clientele and will continue to do so. Up next for this M3 is our EAS Tire Shine Treatment."

Here is a picture of the car without direct light on the reflective calipers, so no, these are not always reflecting.

do they glow from the light they absorb, or do they glow from the heat generated from the brakes?

they don't look terrible, but i think this is more for the florescent underglow crowd.

I can't believe you did that to your M3. This is for honda civics .....lol

I can't believe you are such a hater! Looks great. Civics got nothing on it.

Sigh. This is terrible. Why would anyone want this?

I think it will also be the last.

Because it lowers your stopping distance by 300%.

Kwando · 07-16-2014, 06:38 AM

Not sure how I feel about this. Looks different that's for sure. My eyes are drawn to them immediately but I'm not sure if the brake calipers are something you really want to make pop.

dmk08 · 07-16-2014, 07:07 AM

Well this cements it. Time to buy an F80.

It's a reflective wrap made especially for brake calipers.

quiksi · 07-16-2014, 07:42 AM

Considering the 3 other cars I know of that have this installed or in the process of getting it is a R8, RS5 and a 997 C4S I don't think it's all that bad. Thanks for your opinion though, that is what a forum is all about.

Too late, might want to switch to a different platform because a F82 is already lined up to get this done, sorry.

sgrinavi · 07-16-2014, 07:51 AM

Pass

C-ARchitect · 07-16-2014, 07:51 AM

I don't think it looks good on the ugly stock calipers. Would probably look great on a nice BBK though.

Maybe I should get those $2k caliper covers someone was trying to sell, haha.

Speaking of that, why exactly does the M have decently sized calipers and the smallest brake pads I've ever seen lol? The front pads are about the same size as the rear brakes on a Supra lol.

bimmerfrk · 07-16-2014, 08:04 AM

Haha there is some ugly going on there. Why in the world would you do that? Are you a teen from or native to Asia? Would explain a lot.

TrevorM3 · 07-16-2014, 08:05 AM

the blue actually looks good. But you should have just painted them lambo blue. The reflective thingy looks horrid.

dozaiya · 07-16-2014, 08:39 AM

i'm sorry this is just horrible
at first i confused eas with european auto source and i thought no way they would do something like this

Amirsm3 · 07-16-2014, 08:48 AM

Our calipers aren't the prettiest by design. "A" for trying to break the mold, though.
