Hi Guys,
I've searched the forum to review brake kit options and it seems Wilwood 140-1284-D is a popular option for the front brake kit. It comes in black, red, or nickle finshes and I'd like nickle finish. Trouble is I can't find a rear option that is available in Nickle.... Factory Five only offer red or black in their packages and the wilwood vehicle search doesn't present a rear Nickle option either. BUT the green CF sema 2013 car appears to use the Nickle brake kit. Does anyone know the right wilwood part number or what was used on the sema car? I'm planning on 17" front and 18" rear wheels.
thanks

The Wilwood Sema CF car was bought by Hendow, perhaps PM him?

Thanks I did not know who bought it. I've PM'd him. If I do find the right part number I'll post here for others.

Since the caliper part number is 120-14091, it looks like you'd have to refinish it yourself or find a comparable one like 120-13406-N

*edit* this is for the 2015 IRS rear setup, but even then be sure to double check since I haven't compared all the specs. Typically the billet versions of the calipers are available in nickle but they'll cost more.

I emailed Wilwood about this years ago. Their answer was, nope

I just heard back from Wilwood and they said Nickle wasn't an option for the rear brake kit (they said a lot of custom colours, other than Nickle, are available upon request).
I replied and asked them if they could find out how the sema 2013 car was done; I presume they were a sponsor given the Wilwood advertising on the car. If it was done once, I'm hopeful that it can be done again!

just order them in black front and rear (cheaper) and take them to a local powder coater to have them done in nickel. Then it will be a perfect match.

they are very easy to take apart and put back together.
