Some times it is better to go without rather than pretend :)

They are crappy, cheap plastic that once you install actually stop your calipers etc cooling properly... Also they look silly when you don't have discs that are in proportion to the calipers.

Just paint your OEM calipers :)

Painted calipers look much better, especially with the caliper to disc size.

Eew. Besides the point they are one of the riciest mods you can do - and people will laugh, I believe I read somewhere that your breaks over heat because of them.

Brembos on a SX?

Save yourself that sh..storm and do another mod.

Take no notice of the negative vibe, Rakesh ...

If you like it, then do it ...

The way I look at it. The people that don't what Brembos are, wont care, they'll just be "ooooeer, look, red brakes!" and they'll think they're cool looking. Those that know what Brembos are, are the ones that count. And they will just quietly laugh.
Just paint them red or black if you must have coloured brakes on an SX, much more tasteful and the same effect without the embarrassing side effects. :)

Red paint is just "try-hard" ...

"Umm - I cant afford Brembo's, so I'll paint my oem red"

Black was the other option. I'm thinking of changing mine to yellow. ;)
