Default Caliper Color

Really having a hard time deciding what color to go with on my calipers. We have narrowed it down to leaving it factory or going with red. We painted some tape red and placed it over the calipers to help make a decision but still cant decide. we need help! leave factory or change to red?

Powder coated is the best and will last the longest...mine have been on for over 100,000 miles and although they are a bit dirty, when clean, they look like I just put them on last week...

Ya, the yellow looks best, especially with the whole yellow/black going on. Red is better than stock.

I've seen some people pull off yellow/red but usually it reminds me of McDonalds. You have black accents throughout the body so might as well stick with the theme.

I always liked Yellow with white. I've seen a few cars with full length white racing stripes and thought the colors looked good together. If I had a yellow vette, I would try and work yellow/white colors into it somehow.

I may be a little biased, but I love the look of a car when the calipers match it.

Yellow to go with the theme of black wheels, black interior and yellow car. If you had red somewhere else, I would say red.
