It's a tough color car to choose a caliper color for but I suggest whatever color you do choose to get some matching lug nuts to give it a nice pop!

Your car is looking great though Jeff and I hope my old wheels are treating you well man!

Jeff, looks like you're still running the base floating calipers, best to either paint them black, gray, or silver IMO. You really don't want to bring too much attention to the base brakes, better to have them just "blend". Now if you get the big Akebonos or another BBK then by all means make them scream


Gotta agree w/ Kenny, G is looking nice all around!

Agreed, keep them black or upgrade for painted calipers.

Agreed, I wouldn't bother dressing up standard brakes. I have to get new rotors and pads soon and I might get some slotted/drilled rotors from Brake Performance but that's as far as I'd go with flashiness on the stock stuff.

Sorry was just sort of hoping for a few non "Get BBK" type answers. There also might be some folks who have LP and came up with something that looks sweet. It's a pain in the butt painting them since I don't have a bunch of time with kids etc. Anyways I'll probably just wing something when I get to the paint shop.

Hey Kris, even mentioning those might get you at least temporarily banned
