Yellow Calipers??

Ok, so i would like to hear what some of you guys think. Right now i have Black grill, Black rear emblems (Left the S red), Autokits CF rear diffuser, CF mirror covers (L.E.) and will soon have the black stillen splitter..

I am unsure as to what color to paint my calipers.. My choices were Red (least favorite), Blue, or Yellow.

I would LOVE to do Verde Ithica Green, but i doubt i will ever make this car aggressive enough to pull off green calipers.

Input appreciated.

yellow would be a bit too flashy for this car...especially on PG, but that's just my opinion. You should go with whatever you think looks good

Thanks man.. Yea i think red, blue or yellow would look good.. Just not sure which one to go with. I imagine red would be the "best" because it would blend a little better.. tails, "s" emblem etc..

DEF no white. I think i am going with some variation of Black for wheels so black calipers might be hidden still... I LOVE the blue idea just not Sky, it would be more like Royal/Laguna Seca (M3)..

Thanks for the input man, appreciate it!

I was/am really tempted to do yellow as well. I'm wary of getting ricey though and the wife thinks it's ridiculous. I might just paint them black instead. I painted the calipers on my M45 I had red and it was a lot of work. I had to use a dremel to sand them down smooth and then put about 5 coats of paint then used d2 to get them smooth. Worked great. With the big brakes on the G37 though it will be easy. They are already smooth so it's really just a paint/tape job. Then get the correct decals off of Ebay and you are good to go. One D2 kit oughta do the job nicely. I'll probably go for black sometime in the next few weeks. I have Graphite Shadow.

Although I'd love to see you do it.
I think yellow calipers would only look good on a black, white, red, or a yellow car.

For PG, I would go with the stock color, black and red.

Yea that is what i am thinking too. Red seems to make the most sense..I feel like with black wheels (when i get them) the black calipers might be a little hidden.

Metallic red or metallic blue.

What color are the wheels? Metallic red would be cool. I have metallic blue on my PG.
