Orange Brembo calipers on B5 Blue

[CatDaddyB5]

I can’t seem to find any people pictures online of the B5 Blue Hellcat with Orange Brembo calipers combo. Can anyone on here help me out? Trying to see if I like it enough to get Orange ones since my Red ones were stolen off my car a couple days ago.

The fact you can't even find a pic when googled means yours could be the first. I think it would look good myself. Not B5 but you get the idea...

I was on the fence about them when I ordered my car last September but I chose Red as a safe and cheaper bet LOL but now since I’m in the situation where mine were stolen, maybe it’s a sign to do the Orange!

Have you looked into alternative braking options Maybe Wildwood or another brand that would be lighter or perform better?Rotors are another area you can save some weight to. Just giving ideas to get the weight down on these beasts.

I’ve looked into the Demon Performance rotors. I am going to keep the factory Brembo calipers. No point in changing to something else, it just makes obtaining pads/parts more difficult than driving to the dealer

Hmmm, not sure I'd care for that combo. Would certainly want to see a good HD pic or in person before taking the plunge !

So to find all the bolt sizes to put everything back on has to be a PITA.Unless they left all the bolts there for you

I’m leaning towards doing it but want to be sure before I do it

Luckily for me the insurance is doing all that leg work for me. I’m sure they will get everything from Mopar

Why wouldn’t you have your Dodge dealer to do it? It should be covered by your comprehensive. Hopefully your deductis not too high?

The car is already at the body shop. The insurance adjuster just arrived there and is building the preliminary estimate. And yes it’s covered under my comprehensive. Deductible is $1000 but it’s easily going to be a $12,000+ total

I'd do it.

If you're going to be $1000 out of pocket, you may as well change some things up. Otherwise it would be like putting a new roof on your house. Spend tons of money...and it's the same.

My thought exactly. Same with getting wider aftermarket wheels

Just my .02 here which according to my wife is worthless, but orange and blue is a no no lol. Again just my worthless .02.

 

[McLovin]

I agree that a bright yellow would look better...but just don't know what is available....

I'm just saying that if you are forced to drop some coin, might as well change what you can to your tastes.

Did they fix that initial problem with poor paint finish on these non-red calipers?

 

[EricG]

Red looks so good with blue...my wife calls my car a Superman car lol

I so wish I had red interior instead of black...
