Looks good to me. I never felt like a bigger ricer then when I was painting my teg calipers red, but damn they look good peaking out from behind the wheels.

My car is white so I painted my Teg calipers ceramic red. Of course I also rebuilt the whole setup with new bushings and all and new rotors and pads, before putting it on the car. it has held together for about 8 months and with good cleaning it still looks real good and shines thru my Motegi 14 inchers.

if any of you ran HP+ pads on the street, you wouldn't be doing all this work. mine end up in the oh-so-metallic "Brake dust" color in a day.
1986 Civic Si; b16a is in.. just gotta get it running..
longest swap ever..... :(

well they are installed and now i'm waiting on my pedal pusher (wife) to help me bleed them.

these are 92 dx rebuilt calipers, hps pads, and brembo rotors. first heres the old stuff, stock 86 si brakes.






i pulled a set of calipers from the pull-a-part to get the brackets and a set of cores.

before:



during grinding/sanding:



after color coat:



and cleared:



before the caliper will go on, you have to trim the splash guards like so:



here's the difference between the stock rotor and brembo:
