Looking for Opinions: What Color for my Calipers?

[spek1098]

Color of car: Carbon Grey, like this:

Colors I'm working with:
Got Cobb Blue going on in the suspension:

And red and silver in the SP23 badge:

Some options of colors:

Green:

Red:

Yellow:

I was slightly inspired by the guy with the pink calipers to go a little out there with the green calipers, so that's what I'm considering right now, but I'm open to being swayed.

Pink.

If you're leaving the SP23 badging on, I'd rock red calipers. Otherwise black.

Also, I assume you've seen this thread: http://www.mnmazda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1549

I bought a caliper painting kit from the same place and it was a pretty solid deal.

Silver would be a nice accent. Or purple.

Red, totally red, red red red. And make sure the paint doesn't chip off, otherwise you look like the fool who wasted his time painting his calipers with crappy paint. It's a bad look.

I told aviatuer this and I will say it again, i don't like to paint stock calipers it's like you are try to be something you aren't. You either have brembos or you don't. To me it's a realy cheesy/ricey thing to do. But you know it's your car do with it as you please, hey some guys like to put 22s on chevys and call them donks.

YELLOW or red, but YELLOW would be awesome

What wheels are you gonna roll on? The color of your wheels should be a factor in the color of your calipers as well. I have a silver car and wanted black wheels so I went with silver calipers to offset behind the black wheels. I also did red calipers with my silver 6 as well.

And painting calipers is not rice. If you buy aftermarket wheels that show more of your calipers you need to paint them up nice so you don't have dirty/rusty/crusty calipers for the whole world to see.

But the layer of paint could impede cooling effectiveness. I Like I say it's your car do it up how you like it. But painting my calipers is probly something I will never do.

MS3 rims have seen better days and those tires are at then end of there life. My kumhos still have a bit of life in them, so I will see how bad my traction is with them. So I will be rocking the sp23 rims which are like stock '05 wheels just with a nicer finish.
