Yep. Promo pictures are an R. Different wheels, calipers, wing, etc.

Me too. I'm fine with the gray/black calipers as they look good on the HEP. I do prefer the design of the R CF wheels though.

Must be a lot of Stingers in your area. The red 4-piston front and 2-piston rear brembos, only available on a Stinger as far as I can tell, are a $6400 option. People opted to pay for them.

They are like flies on a dung heap here in the Dallas area. They are the choice of gang bangers now that the supply of cast off Crown Vics has become depleted. Identified by the "Chain Drive" license plate frame from Pep Boys.

Interesting. I don't see that in the FTW area. From your post #1 it feels like you wanted to be in the club. But I guess you got what you wanted right?

So, are you implying that those of us with R’s have the lowly, simplistic KIA treatment simply because our cars have red calipers?

I was simply wondering why the 350 didn't have red calipers. I now understand it is the R that gets them. I'm glad we don't. Red calipers are a PITA to keep clean.

No ............ It has become the thing with certain sects here in the Dallas area.

It’s funny how when I’m driving my car I never think about brake caliper color. Does red stop faster?

Weighs less.

Weighs less.

You mean if I paint my calipers red they'll weigh less?

Nope... you had to get the special R ones. Even the KIA red ones weigh less than your black ones.
