lol yes that was the original plan, I even bought the satin black paint to do. But time didn't permit me to take the time to properly clean the calipers so i could get a good couple coats of paint on them.
I still want to do stainless brake lines, so once I find some that fit the Q5, I will paint the calipers when i change the lines. :-)

so just got home from the days events. Put about 250 miles on today. good mix of freeway and mountain curvy driving. The rotor and pad combo work great! But definitely need to bleed again. They are easy to regulate speed through the hills and in stop and go traffic. No fade what so ever through the hard hill driving today. Needless to say, I am happy with the set up.

I got mine from Adam's rotors when I purchased my rotors, but you could probably get just the lines from him.
They feel great.

The StopTech stainless steel braided lines I have on mine will fit for sure. And they fit both the older 2009-12 brakes, as well as the new 2013 brakes.
