What color calipers??? Your opinions please!

Hey folks, thinking about painting my brake calipers and was trying to figure out the best color for my 2004 Obsidian Black G35x. I was thinking red or black, maybe even yellow?? Everything else is stock except for clear corners, you opinions are greatly appreciated!!

black only for stock calipers. if you have brembo or a bbk then you could paint them in red, although they usually come painted in different colors.

On the oem I would go with something clean that does not stand out too much like black or silver.


Aftermarket BBK = RED FTW

if you want it to get noticed, paint the calipers a nice silver and get some black wheels. although i dont know why you'd want to show off stock calipers, they're nothing special.

get some headlight and tail light overlays from BlueBat if you want an inexpensive mod that will let you stand out from the next G35 on the road
