What color calipers?
Need some opinions on what color calipers to go with. I am having some FRZ 950's made for my car right now in satin black. So the hardware, lip, etc.. is all satin black on a black C6. What do you think?

I agree. I just saw a CTS V coupe in metallic black with black wheels and yellow calipers, looked fantastic.

So many choices.
Perhaps tie in with the thread color in your interior or other interior color.
Yellow, black, red, silver even orange, blue or gold. No vote from me for green though.
Red would be the standard choice - match spark plug wires.
Silver conservative -match exhaust tips and other chrome exterior pieces.
Yellow would look good too....too many personal choices.

Thanks for the replies, anyone here good at photo shop? I am not sure when my wheels will show up, but I can take a side view as is. Then maybe someone kind enough to photo shop some different colors would be awesome.

Might as well hit them with a rattle can if you want black.
