I find this comment amusing, as you say your after mods for 'performance' then go on and list several performance hindering or non-performance related mods (i.e. trim changes).
Everyone knows that painting/powder coating brake calipers actually makes them less effective as they are unable to cool down efficiently (as the coating is a hinderance to heat transfer) and can result in brake fade (underperformance).
