What up, I own a 2004 White Sunfire and im about to get some MB Drifter Wheels on my car and was wondering should i paint my brake calipers Red or just Black? I chose red because my car lights up red inside " speedo, cd-player etc." Need Suggestions here. Thanks
Go with red. Red is the most used color in all big brake upgrades and you might fool some newbs to think you got a big brake kit on the car. Red also goes with just about any body color.
Go black showing off stock brakes is ricey bro I did mine black plus I think black would look cool with white anyways
***Looking for a BLUE 03+ STOCK cavi wing pm me if ya got one you wanna sell***
I say black! Red will fade, get dirty and just look ugly over time!
red in front,black in the back.Just clean them first

Lol. Why would you want to fool someone into thinking you have a big brake kit? So YOU'RE the guy that has the two, two-liters bottles filled with blue powerade with NAWS!!11 written all over it, sitting on your passenger seat, huh? Just messin' with ya man.

Yea.. most caliper paint is going to be high-temp..
I also recommend Duplicolor Caliper Paint.

Some here ,IMO,go with a big brake upgrade just to jump on the bandwagon. Unless they have the extra power to warrant such an upgrade IMO it's pointless.But if he want's to paint the front/rear ,black ,blue or pink doesn't really matter.Some of you are so damn anal when it comes to someone wanting to paint the front calipers red for an appearance thing.So what if someone wants to imitiate a big brake upgrade,it's better than a dual alum. wing.

no id be worse then the wing. a wing is a wing, trying to fake like you have something you dont it just pathetic. why do you need to fake like you have big brakes? is it going to make you cool? no. is it going to help your braking? no. so why bother. most people would just make fun of you. and honestly having better brakes is never a bad thing, doesnt matter how much power you have a 1000hp car going 75 is the same as a 100 hp car going 75 but i bet the one with the better brakes stops quicker and possibly avoids an accident.
and besdies when you come on the interenet asking for opinions your going to get them.

BLACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Black.
Im thinking of doing bronze, like a dark bronze color, just to see what it looks like up against black wheels and red paint... But i get bored and my mind wonders things, so it might look like @!#$ but ill try it anyhow. haha
what if you just get re manufactured calipers that are powder coated?

yes because wanting to better an already @!#$ty braking system is pointless. i guess i should just trash my baer brakes.
