This post is for my own personal knowledge as I am 100% ignorant when it comes to stuff like this. So I thank anyone for their time in posting in reply!


As we've seen with the 2023 builds regarding the lack of customization for scat pack widebodys to change their caliper color to anything but Black, what options are out there / how hard is it to just swap out the colored caliper portion of a Brembo brake kit on a brand new car. I'd love red of course like I've had the option to do on previous challengers I've customer ordered from Dodge. (Yellow Brembos might look cool on Plum Crazy Purple too, idk)

There's a site that sells just the Brembo Caliper in every color (not the cheap ABS plastic covers, I don't want anything to do with those) and I just don't know anything about any of that kind of stuff to know whether it's an easy enough swap or if its a near impossible / ridiculous waste of time to do, feel free to let me know that as well lol.

I did try to do some research ahead of time or find videos and cant find anything regarding this particular subject outside of people painting them manually which I also would prefer not to do.


Again thanks in advance for any and all feedback

G2 Caliper paint works great. All you need is a jack, 4 jack stands, a lug nut wrench and blue painters tape. You will spend more time jacking it up and taping stuff off than you will actually painting. You can find the stickers on eBay too.

I wouldn't pay for new calipers. I painted mine and printed body color decals. They came out great and way cheaper.

It’s not hard to swap out the caliper for another one. Just make sure you’re getting the right one that fits your car. Another option is to powder coat the calipers. That’s a cheaper option, but some people prefer the actual OEM ones. But those are expensive

can’t put a 6 piston caliper on a car that came with 4 piston unless you plan on changing the rotors and everything else. Also, the older 4 piston 2021 and before are different than the newer 2022+ for scat packs as those newer ones look like the 4 piston ones that came on the Demons.
