Anyhow, I think you should keep those calipers red for the contrast it provides. Whichever you choose, you'll have a real sharp looking car.

Good luck and show pics when you're done.

Joe
Joe,

Great to hear that you got a new ride. The car is running great and personally I think it is looking good too, but I would love to make some small changes, but I think that the red is going to stay.

Micah

Hi MPH -

Why not?

I prefer the red, but go with your idea -

Even though I prefer red, I like to see all the different looks that people come up with.



best regards -

Micah, if you really want them to stand out try another color: it's what the locals here call "yaller."
