Looks good. I'm going to be doing this sooner or later... Are the brackets aluminum as well or are they steel?

That really looks fantastic. I also believe the calipers look best when matched to the car. Time will tell if they will be a bitch to keep clean...

The calipers have been polished for 7 months now, and still look great. However I hardly ever drive the car anymore.

This is the only pic I took with the wheel off, notice before I painted the brackets and rotors. I don't foresee taking my wheels off anytime soon so this is as good as it gets.
