Paint Rear Calipers on V8

^^ I’m sure that’s probably been discussed in V8 threads before (how could it not be?) but yeah, this is the first time I’m seeing this. It is absolutely baffling. It may be the most PepBoyz looking gaffe I’ve ever seen out of a car manufacturer, other than the entire Civic Type R. “Oh, dude, they were like almost out of HiTemp Plastidip and I got the last can — would only do 2 of them. I’ve got more on order but, you know, chip shortage and all.”
Whatever the true explanation is (and I hope TheInsider offers it at some point), it cannot possibly excuse or justify this astonishing lameness. Painted calipers being totally unnecessary, YA JUST LEAVE THEM OFF IF YOU CAN’T DO THEM BOTH!

If you don't feel like powder coating, G2 will custom match a color for you with high-temp caliper paint (not touch-up paint).
