different colored brake calipers?

Guys, been searching around a bit and have been unable to find a replacement for the boring gray calipers that our cars come with. I think it'd look great to

Default different colored brake calipers?

Guys, been searching around a bit and have been unable to find a replacement for the boring gray calipers that our cars come with. I think it'd look great to have yellow or red calipers - anyone come across a shop selling these?

Not sure what's with Nissan not providing this option, I think it's a great touch that many sports car makers are all over.

You could just get them painted it's cheaper than replacing

yeah, I powdercoat them, and I do it on an exchange basis, but there is a little wait right now with one set of cores and about 5 people in line from this forum and the G37 customers.

Have Mike powder coat them for you, you won't regret it.

Mike did mine and I couldn't be happier. Check out my album for pics.
