red Brembos: try-hard or die-hard?

Certain things only look good on supercars: gigantanormous wing spoilers, or "look at me" red brembos. That's because the said supercar is already "look at me" - the extra adornment seem fitting.

However, on a more mundane, "blue collar" car - I would argue that putting ostentatious adornments say "hey look I have nice parts on a cheap car" rather than "hey look at me".

Agree? Disagree?

Personally I plan on painting mine blue. But that's just me.

I don't think they look out of place on the Camaro/Mustang

I think it depends on the color of the car and the color of the wheels. For instance, my red camaro with non RS silver wheels looks really good with the black Brembos, and would only look good with red if the wheels were black. I think orange and green would look bad with red bremdos. Yellow and Blue might work, but black and sliver look the best with red brembos.

they look good on customs and new muscle cars but you need to change your poll answer. red brembos dont look good on anything. for instance, a chevette

I think they look good with the right car color and wheel setup. It depends on the shade of red too.
