pic request of red calipers and thoughts
I will soon be replacing my rotors and pads. I have pretty much decided to go with a set of front and rear cross drilled and slotted rotors with ceramic pads. I am however considering either painting or powder coating the calipers red. Any pictures would be great and advice or trash talking is also welcome.

thanks for the reply. I have a 2000 x5 4.4i that doesn't have brembo brakes. I wish I could afford them but I can't. my X is black, and here is a pic. more pics of her can be seen in my profile album.

Here are mine drilled and slotted rotors and I painted the calipers red...I think it looks great on a black X.

Red calipers belong to a BBK. Too flashy for me on stock calipers.
mad_mike, your X looks good with those ACS add-ons.

Not to mention that any color other than black or grey/silver is going to be almost impossible to keep looking clean easily.
