Sir Nuke

I would love to have my rapid blue with velocity yellow brake calipers and valve covers. Disappointed they went with such a funky "yellow" for the C8 brakes.

Sir Nuke

I agree.....but there are options.....get them done yourself after the fact with a nice bright yellow.

Yeah I know.... but if you research the coatings Brembo uses on the calipers, nothing aftermarket holds up the same. I track my cars and most powdercoat will get soft after a hard track session. Had it happen on a C5 of mine at VIR with the gravel paddock. Gravel became embedded in my caliper coating! The OEM coatings can handle it all.

Sir Nuke

you are 100% right there.....the aftermarket stuff works just fine if your just wanting to make it pretty and not track your car where is will take a beating.

I think the orange valve covers look better than the red, and there is some historical continuity, also.

Sir Nuke

I think so too.....and it doesn't hurt seeing as how both my C7 and my C8 is or going to be Sebring Orange! lol
