Our OEM E46 dinky, minuscule, pansy calipers in red = no. Silver or black for OEM!

If they're Brembos, and they came that way from the factory, why not. Painting rinky dink OEM's nope.

Red calipers are the biggest fag thing you could do. Why not trade your bimmer in for a civic. I hate rice and this = rice.

These are top tier rice badges but maybe you'll like them.

paint
hey well your right and I cant agree with you guys any more that painting your calipers with spray bomb is RICE! but if you properly get your oem brakes sand blasted and powdercoated with a clear after like I had my calipers done they look really nice (dont chirp its the best thing I could do untill I buy a brembo BBK), you can make them look like brembo quality if done properly without the brembo monster size calipers/logo
