After a long bout of rain and snow and then it being too cold to wash the salt off the car, I finally had a chance to take some photos today. Mud was everywhere and the noon sun was glaring, so these aren't the best shots. But I'll take more when the light is better and I can find a better background.
In the two weeks I've had the 4-wheel brakes on, I've been stopped a couple of times in parking lots and once at a gas station by people who thought I had an SRT8. I'm surprised so many people even know what an SRT8 is, let alone zero in on the brakes as the distinguishing characteristic. As far as I know, the SRT8 brakes will be either bare aluminum or painted silver. The StopTech and Brembo big brake upgrades can both be had in silver or black.
After using them for a while, the brakes still feel terrific. The pedal is firm and there is almost no travel. While the stock brakes were strong, they certainly weren't linear. These feel much more like race car brakes. I can't wait until I have a chance to put my summer wheels on and enjoy some really eye popping decelleration runs.
In the meantime, here you go with some more photos:
