Hey guys, don't get me wrong, doing it for looks is OK. I admire the fact that you admit it! There's nothing wrong with looking good - that's why I have capped teeth!
What gets me is when people try to justify it other ways when they too are only about the aesthetic, but would never admit it as if that wasn't justification enough for you to do what you want with your own money and your own car.
You can also just paint your calipers red. I did, but honestly not to mimic the Big brakes, I did it because my car is guards red and the only colr G2 had which I thought complimented the car was red.
In fact, funny story - I met a guy to buy some parts for my BMW 2002 at his place and we both arrived at the same time so did the transaction on the sidewalk. I drove my Boxster. A pedestrian came by, stopped, looked over the car and then in a very condecending manner said "That's
just the 2.5 isn't it?" I agreed. Then he said "You have the Big Brakes?" I said no, that the calipers were just painted red. He said "A poseur..?" I said "No, just painted them red... what do you drive?" He said "a Honda" the guy whom I met jumped in - "Enough said..."
BTW, Vath - that wasn't Billy Crystal, that was
FERNANDO !
Cheers!
