Why don't automakers make better looking brakes?

After mine started to look dingy, I took a few hours one day and painted them red. Not a fan of the covers either, they just end up looking too fake to me. You either get standard calipers or unGodly expensive bigger ones. Some manufacturers provide better looking calipers than others. I didn't buy my DDRT for the way the brakes looked, but I can see some of the points here. I believe the RT calipers and pads in the front are larger than standard...…..I know the rotors are a bit larger because I have made the mistake of getting 330mm rotors since I have owned mine. Doh!

I tend to look at vehicles while they are in motion. You can tell the one's that have larger braking systems pretty easily, but that's only if you are paying attention. As stated here, about 95% of people aren't like us.
