Caliper opinions
Looking for some opinions because I can't decide. My calipers are already red but I was thinking about doing them yellow and the lettering in black to match the car. What do you all think?

I think it would look best with a set of black wheels.. Not to say you won't LOVE it. I have always just dug the look that members have posted with the scheme you are talking about with black wheels...
If you really want it you should just try I think.

I like calipers to contrast the body color rather than match it. perhaps consider a fresh powder coat of red or maybe changing the shade slightly and going with something like Mag Red or C6 Crystal Red.

I think I'll always prefer red calipers, but I have to admit that the yellow car with black wheels and yellow calipers looks damn good.

While I'm not a fan of white, my C4 was white with glass roof, tinted windows, and black wheels. It was understated, but looked so good, I fell in love with the car (plus driving it). While the torch red and yellow are my favorite Corvette colors, it can be TOO MUCH yellow. All blacked out roof, black wheels, raw carbon ZR1 kit all around and the yellow POPS without being overwhelming.
To me anyway.

Chrome or polished wheels makes just about any color caliper look hot doesn't it ?.
On the millennium yellow I like the look of the red C6Z calipers behind polished or chrome wheels BUT baddboyz03 has me wondering... Can someone photochop John Bourgs old rig's calipers yellow? Im no good at photoshop.
You're going to have some serious options to figure out big bid
