Default ARE These Good Mods or just ricey!

Hey guys i want to know what u think about these mods or if any of u have them done and can post pics.
I want to paint the calipers black on my CR i think it would go with my yellow and black theme. Than i want the CF interior pices thinking about just plain black or maybe the yellow and black CF pices. Any ideas on the yellow and black pices if that would be to much yellow and black for the interior or any of u have these pices thanks for any help. Also going to get tint soon to was thinking 5%

paint the calipers black and put yellow "s2000" stickers on the calipers afterwards.

i tried to find a picture but i don't feel like going to the garage and yanking off a wheel to take a picture then load it online. it'll look good. i filed down my calipers and then sanded 'em. i sprayed 'em black and added the $6 "s2000" stickers on them. they look beautiful and professional.

Hmm, sticker? Won't that just get dirty?

And do yourself a favor, get your brakes powder coated. Always looks 10x better.

DO NOT paint interior pieces. No matter how good of a job you do, they ALWAYS come out looking GHETTO.

I say stay away from the yellow CF interrior pieces and go with the regular CF instead. The yellow CF is too much IMO and makes me think bumble bee. The regular black and silver CF looks good and slightly updates a dated yet functional interrior. Just don't go all out with the CF. I would only use about half of the ones that come with the standard kit. To much CF is ricey.

Also, I believe the stickers go on the calipers before you add clearcoat so they don't get dirty. That said, if not cleaned regularly everythinhg gets dirty in there.

In my opinion its a little much, but if it feels right to you then do it. Its your car so who cares if someone doesnt like it, as long as you do thats all that matters.
