Seriously, do you think they would look crappy and stand out too much if they were red? Maybe with Eclipse lettering on the side, or not??

Who used to have the Eclipse or Talon lettering for the calipers, I think I want some.

Poll question: What color to paint the calipers?

it depends on your color scheme. mine are red at the moment and my car is similar in color to yours and they dont look too bad. i am changing them to blue tho.

if your car is almost teh same color as injen's...i say either go black with some white lettering/logo or paint them to match. Yellow doesn't look too bad on that color either...but it sticks out and i assume you don't have any other yellow on there.

Here is a really shitty photoshop of red...if someone else wants to do a shop, please do, I'll take all suggestions...Buck, I think yellow is outtie, yuck. I do like the idea of black w/ white lettering though.

Original


W/Red


Injen, do you have any good pictures of yours with red painted?? Send me a link, or e-mail to ernestdan@hotmail.com please and thank you.

I just had NFS:U flash backs.

LOL, I thought the same think when I made the post, but my wheels get plenty of attention, but my rotors are stock (small) and I just wanted to draw more attention there. I'm really liking the black w/ polished lettering idea.

no seriously though, i think you should paint them black, or gunmetal

Gunmetal would be sweet, but may be hard to find that color. Might be stuck with glossy black and polish whatever is written on the calipers.

thats what mine will look like but here is what they look like for now.......


that pic makes it so hard to wait to get my gsx wheels next week.

edit----blizare will make the caliper lettering for you. hes the one who is making mine.

i'm gunna get a big logo of your face and put it on my brakes, how bout that

I will post some pictures when I get home from school, but seriouslly in my opinion I like painted brake calipers. My car is red and my calipers are red. Having the calipers red brings nice attention to the wheels of the car. It looks really great and alot of people notice.. Chicks dig it.. and they say ... MIKE CAN YOU PAINT MINE PINK.. then I'm like :wallbash But if you do it right and mask everything off correctly and have the right color scheme. It will look really great.

two words... flat black...
