I'll let you guys know if it works out. I am realizing that the CCB are really a $10k option, because after the 7500, you need to add 1200 for the wheels to clear the brakes. And since I would want to go with a set of HRE's, it's essentially like pissing away $1200 on rims I would never use. If I strip the Individual leather and the CCB, that drops the price by a whopping $13k... Certainly something I would consider.. It's just that I wish I could "Individual" the color of the brake calipers away from blue.
I stand by my stance of thinking that the ceramic brakes are idiotic (IMO) at this point in time. way too expensive, not under maintenance warranty, don't last long on the track, pads are expensive etc....

I think you would be way ahead having the calipers on the normal brakes removed and painted whatever color you want. Plus the performance will likely be killer on track with a simple race pad and fluid swap.
