The purple haze would not be as subtle at all. Trying to envision the gunmetal now too.... However, and I forgot to mention this, I'm probably going to match the engine bay to the calipers. I think. Maybe. Probably. That's the plan anyway.

OP hit the nail on the head IMO
Color of the R35 brakes is what I'd go for, the OEM silver finish is OK (pretty boring), but I think gold/copper finish is sportier without being gaudy. Black car w gunmetal rims and this color brakes = perfection

I would love to see the UV color on your car, Rex! I think it would look great. I'm having a tough decision deciding between an metallic royal-ish blue color, burnt copper, or some sort of purple. I'm only thinking purple because I think I'm going to go for a set of D2 coilovers seeing as the BCs aren't getting fixed anytime soon.
What do you like thus far?

OMG, I have an emotional hard-on for that picture. So pretty.

With your black wheels the dark blue (although gorgeous) might stay a bit more hidden. I like the pop of the yellow but w/ a bit more subtle shade teh burnt copper & black seems to me to be a good compromise between pop & subtle. And to top it off the burnt copper would look killer in your engine bay.

You know, I love my Akebono BBK, but all these pictures of AMG and Brembo 6-piston calipers are making me feel a little inadequate.
