Painting Calipers......what color ?

I have a silver 93 Si and just got new 17in Hyper X wheels and was wondering what color you think would look good for the calipers with silver. I think blue would be too gaudy, maybe just silver, or even red ??? Let me know, or if anyone has pics, thanks.

Well well well Matt, I see you've come out of your slumber.

As far as keeping this on topic, you can't go wrong with red. Silver would look good as well, if you're going for something really subtle.

ps- stop by sometime, if the cars here, I am too.

black and silver would look nice...or a gunmetal tone. Red and silver is also a classic combo that looks great. I'd go w/ black, though ... just my opinion.

Some people say to get it powdercoated, but I can't go for a week w/o my brakes.

My Cousins live in rochester Its a nice little town... never knew there was a lude community there. I am gonna be visiting from LA in the summer (without the lude), it would be cool as hell to go to a lude meet with a whole new group of luders. How many rochester luders are there?

BTW, my cousins last name is Mendler (same as mine), if anyone knows him-- although rochester isnt that small
