I just picked up the red paint for my calipers. A friend of mine is going to paint them tommoarow. Ill post some pics tommarow when its done. I might go exchange the paint for yellow paint. But im still not sure. Would yellow on yellow look good because i already no that the red on yellow looks great. If anyone has any input please let me know.
Thanks
AFR

stick with red. Unless its an exact match for your millenium or velocity, whichever you have, it won't look good.

Default I have yellow on yellow, and kind of like it.....

it's different, at least. The red is the clssic look, though, and is really great, too.

Two things every C6 (except z06) leaving the BG assembly plant should have: Z51 stabilizer bars and red brake calipers.
