Anyone have Brembo or other brake calipers in red?

Thinking about doing it mostly for looks! Anyone have any pics of an X5 with red or silver calipers? Is there a good caliper cover available without replacing/painting the stock calipers? I've seen the ones on ebay from Japan, but these mostly don't seem to fit and some have complained about poor quality. The real deal Brembos cost thousands!

Dang! Those brembo's look good with the drilled rotors! Unfortunately I don't have $3000 to blow on this mod. Even if I did get the brembo's there are issues with the 17" wheels from what I hear and you have to use spacers. Not sure how far it's true but I know for sure it's an issue on the 540i which is why I never went that route. I have to switch to 17" wheels on both cars for winter with the weathetr here.

Wonder if I should just get the drilled rotors and paint the calipers red. Unless there are other brands that may work??

i saw some red brembo caliper covers on ebay for about $85 and i just wanted to know if that would be a cheaper way of getting that brembo look.

Also saw some "Brembo" drilled and slooted rotos on ebay. Are they really Brembo's? Never heard of drilled AND slotted before. They seem like a good deal $280 for front and rear, but are they the real thing?
