What color calipers should i go with!???!

Hey guys, i have a 04 g35 coupe, its silver with black interior, the rims are 2 tone, painted silver and polished aluminum.

Buying new calipers but they have like 10 color choices that come powder coated....

The guy told me to get black or Silver b/c they will stand out with the new slotted and drilled rotors....

The guy is right, either go for black or silver because you dont want the color of the calipers to clash with your rims. Good luck with your decision.

Black or nothing. I never saw the point of painting the stock calipers a flashy color, as if they are something to show off about.

If he were buying a BBK then I'd assume he would say BBK. But I'll let him clear that up for us. If that's the case, I'd go with either blue, red, or black. Yellow can stand out nice if you have the right setup.

i'm not trying to start an argument i'm just stating what seems obvious. I'm sure when buying new calipers there isn't color choices if they were OEM. But like you said best to here from the OP

Sounds great that you are getting some new calipers. Some more information would be helpful though.

1. What kind of new calipers are you getting?
2. What are our 10 color choices?
3. Do you have a recent still shot of your setup? The pics you provided are of 2 different G's and I am wondering which one is yours.

I'm partial to silver. Previous cars of mine have had aluminum calipers and they looked damn good when they are fresh and new.

I'm gonna paint my stock calipers this summer because rust-looking steel calipers suck.

I'm gonna use silver..not so they stick out...just so they look new.

Black looks dirty to me
