Its no big, just use the leftover red and paint over the SVT, no one will ever know. Except for us of course :). If anything you should have put a running horse or something, that would look pretty cool I think.

I would leave the SVT off, it's out of place on non-cobra brakes, maybe that's what the guy meant by rice? Rice is a bit harsh though.

The SVT on the wheels is fine because those are actually cobra wheels.

The color is nice though, I would just lose the SVT and go with the new edge GT logo on them if you're set on having lettering on them.

If you like em enough to do it who care what anyone else thinks? People start making my payments they get a say on how I build my car.

dude, who gives a shit what anyone thinks, u obviously took the time to paint them like that, do you like it?? if so great if not paint over it. I don't think what some random guy says should determine what u think of ur own car.

i say you keep it just to piss stuck-up cobra owners off. Besides 95% of people dont care about your brakes anways.

That's not rice. But I agree with the others, the SVT needs to go. Even with that it doesn't look bad at all, though.

Meh, drawing attention to small stock calipers is ricey, IMHO. If you want nice clean calipers, paint 'em black or gray or something.

so what did you do? It looks like you either put on new white brake pads or you painted some white? The SVT calipers are from ford racing right? you had a choice of red or black and you chose red?

oooooh those are stock 1-piston calipers and you painted them red? I see. There gonna get dirty soon anyways...

i believe those are the twin piston calipers found in the new edges.

i think it looks dope bro. yeah its not real svt, but it looks so nice that it looks stock! keep it.
