Green Calipers and lugs

Any of you have Green brake calipers with green lugs? I'd like to see what it looks like on a G before i buy the stuff to do mine. I saw it on a silver porsche and it looked sick.

Post a picture if you can.

Well, i am not sure if a G did it but a friend did it to his Acura integra and it didn't look cool. But if you like then you should just do it and rock them on your car.

What colour car are you thinking of putting them on? I think they could look okay in one of two scenarios: a subtle colour match (see below, on an MG Rover I think) or an aggressive contrast to bring attention to a massive BBK. Don't do it with stock non-Brembo calipers.

I would hope if any of our members had calipers with rust they'd consider painting them rather than leaving them with fugly rust. Dark colors or silver look best....not a fan of green calipers!

Quit hating, Green calipers are coool. Great example candlestick. But only on BBK. I would have green, if I had a more monotone color like: white/black/silver.

You got any pics?

I will be painting my stock calipers too. I don't really want to spend a lot of cash, but want a little different look to set me apart from the other G's. I will post pictures after Xmas of mine with a stock ride height and 25mm spacers in the rear, 20mm spacers in the front, green stock calipers and green lugs. BTW, I have a silver G.
