My Impreza is blue Rally Pearl with Rota Torque wheels in gold color and my Brembos are nice looking in gold so i'm not going to paint to black or any other color
I stick with gold and just for this i'm not going to shoot my head.

So don't paint em, no one here is telling you too. I am confused with your need to tell me that you could not and would not eat green eggs and ham.

Cool. It's almost reverse of what you usually see, which is WRX's with full STi everything including brembo swap. It's not as if the paint takes away from the performance of the brakes anyway, so more power to you. And not to thread hack, but true sleeper is an STi swapped 2.5 RS with the full RS badging and stock exterior/interior. I'll post the pics up soon.

Catblack



1200 degee oven paint in flat black. If I could I think I would paint the entire world flat black. It's so pretty.

The brakes look great! I hope they hold up well for you, especially considering the time you invested into them.

Just curious as to why you're going with a WRX hood scoop. The intercooler could probably use the extra air from the larger hood scoop, unless you are going FMIC?

I myself also love the gold calipers, but how'bout a compliment where it's due? If you don't like it, fine, but it doesn't make it bad just because it's not your thing.

I must say, I question Subaru's judgement when they put blue/black interiors in silver cars or black cars with pink stickers (nothing else is blue...), or even white cars with pink/red stickers. The blue/black interior looks good in ONE colored car IMO, and that's the WRB. What Subaru should've done is make the blue parts of the interior to match the outside color, maybe, except for in the case of the white? Who are we to question his judgement with his car? He didn't like the gold calipers so he painted them.

Anyway, gold clashes with silver. I think the black calipers look great behind the silver wheels, and it also gives the calipers a very stealthy appearance.

Props for the black calipers on the silver car!

have a Perrin FMIC in black going in soon. And to be honest the smaller scoop for now has regitered no loss of power on the butt dyno

And don't worry about the other guy, I can take critisisim (sp?) as well as compliments. I understand my taste is not for everyone.

Whatever the case, looks good!

When you get the FMIC (flat black of course), you need to put on a 2.5 RS hood.... I'd also tint the tail lights, and in my eyes, you could call it done.
