I think you always want the appearance of factory- as if they came that way- I'd go w/ silver, or on occasions red.
Anything else is clearly not "factory"

A local member in Chicago, hecash, had his brakes PC'ed and used to track a LOT. He said the PC didn't hold up very well.

I only did one track day in the S and it was on the stock brakes. Aside from getting covered in dust the G2 held up VERY well. Even the vinal decals held up fine.

Nice thread from the past. Caliper paint (done well) is a nice touch. I get tons of compliments from other owners, which spawned my mobile service here in the SoCal area. Let me know if you all need any advice. I'll tell you that good prep work is the key to a nice smooth/glossy finish.

AND

Where can I get them decals?...
I used to get them from a site called "decalgirl.com". Unfortunately they do not list them anymore. Maybe if you contact them directly they can whip some up for you. If not, I would try e-bay.
