painted mine to match the color of the wheels... very subtle and clean looking.

thx vrm vrm-
i really like the silver with the rotors...
the rotors are the main attraction and the calipers dont detract either, imo.

I like Silver on Aftermarket Rotors. On the stock rotors the silver calipers highlight the stock calipers and the rust. I did Red but also considered Black.

Yeah, I'd like to find some cadmium-plated NON-SLOTTED/DRILLED rotors, if there is such a thing.

Max i've seen yellow and two things - yellow really shows the brake dust and it's not a perfect match to our spas..

I painted mine black with hi-temp engine paint and when my new s2000 caliper decals come in (bought yellow and red) i'll re-coat the calipers with clear coat as well

I haven't ordered them yet, but all colors of the G2 kits are the same price - somewhere around $36 I think (info is at home)
