Color to match would be good. Don't do red it's so overplayed and since your cars green it'd look like a Christmas tree with red calipers.

I agree, red is overplayed. I think Yellow would look good, but I am partial

I have BG/Lt Oak 2000 vert and am in the same boat. I am considering :

BG with tan letters powdercoated.

Tan w/BG lettering.

the classic red/white lettering (Christmas comments noted!).

g/l with your choice and post pics so we can see and it will help with my decision
