What do you think?

In my honest opinion, it doesn't match. Paint them a blue similar to your car. The car as a whole looks great. Nice and clean.

I think they look pretty good. But that's just me. I also would be the kinda guy too lazy to bother repainting them.


Gotta love the two-toner.

Hey guys,

Thanks for the opinions. I don't know why I have two threads, just noticed that.

I've heard 50/50 on the red issue. Still not sure. They do kind of match with the back lights and I like the color, but at the same time, blue is the obvious choice.

Going to lower the car, do a few more things and then see how it looks. I am too lazy to get it repainted, at least for now.

Cheers,
Mike

Defenitley no...

Red Calipers/Drums are more set for a red color scheme or a color that goes well with red. You have a Sky Blue car..total opposite. It just doesn't match at all.

if you do want to have red which usually screams performance then i would be ok with it on the calipers, but not on drums... nothing screams performance when you see drums. And it would also be nice if the car was black, red, or white to match.

...also agree. I painted my calipers black just to kill the rust look, the drums as well...looks ten times better.







...don't hate!.. respect people that have talent, even if it is in something you don't like or understand.

Either do black or blue, the red looks tacky.

Done and done,

Painted them black, pics coming soon.

Thanks guys, looks much better. Was unsure of the red from the beginning, but wanted to give it a try and see how it worked.

Cheers
