I think it will look great, Doug! But there's a reason the OEM Brembos come flat black - the calipers collect brake dust and are a huge pain in the ass to clean. If you can live with it, go for it! Maybe wax them every now and then so the dust is easy to wash off.
I think the gold is unusual and will look really good.

I think they look pretty good. I'm just trying to reassure myself that the colors look ok together. (black, silver and the gold). I went with a pretty mild gold to not look too flashy or cheap. I know red, black, blue, etc. would have matched, but I thought it was too flashy for the look I'm going for.

After the decals go on, I'm going to put quite a few coats of gloss clear in an attempt to make them durable and able to be cleaned hard without damaging the finish. My stockers are that silver color and they don't look too bad for wear. I guess the brembo pads are more of a carbon metallic "dirty" pad though, huh?

Yes they are much 'dirtier' than standard pads. My uncle went from a base GT to a Boss 302 LS and he bitches about the brake dust, lmao!

I meant to tell you I've got some extra black Brembo decals if they'll work for you. (depending on what color you end up with). Figured I'd mention it to you before you order some more. I got (6), practiced with (1) and used (2), so I've got(3) left over.
