They look good to me. I won't buy for my car but it does draw attention to the wheels in contrast. I guess you call it the new art.

On some colors they look great....gray, black, white. On others like the orange they look hideous!

I liked them with NRB, but not enough to pop $500 for them.

I like the red calipers better most of the time, but don't think the yellow looks bad with SG, black, white and yellow. Does anyone think this combo looks terrible, or is it just me? I AM NOT BASHING THE OWNER, IF HE LIKES IT, GREAT!!

Definitely not a fan of yellow calipers on a DSOM car.

I have them on my ride. They really look good with my black wheels--people tell me.
I had red ones with my Millenium Yellow 2004. They looked pretty good too.
I really like the look of colored calipers with what ever combo the owner gets.

DSOM with

Yellow Calipers - not quite a match
Red Calipers - clashes, not good at all
Black Calipers - Yes

I'm definitely down with the yellow calipers on the blue.

Not sure about that pin striping on the wheels though

Not correct; yellow IS a primary color (red, blue, and yellow). Orange is a mix of red and yellow.

I personally don't like yellow calipers on orange or red Vettes, but I do have them on my Arctic White and LOVE them. I just wanted a little "color pop" on my white and black car so I thought this was the perfect little touch. Plus, every Arctic White that I have seen has red calipers which is just super overdone in my opinion. It looks good, but I wanted my car to be unique. The only other color I would have considered is blue.

I have DSOM with black calipers. But I like the yellow calipers with that color.
