Sup guys. I have a OB coupe and I just bought a set of IPL coupe 19 rims. Im planning on getting a set of akebono brake calipers and want to get em powdercoated. Should I go Gold or candy red?

Pics of car? Always been interested to see how IPL rims look on 35 coupe.

And I'd go with candy red. Sticks out more (especially on dark cars).

brakes

If those are the two colors...then I'd go with red.

But if you are up for considering other colors I'd go with something different than the o-so-common red or gold. HKS Purple, Orange, Green, Blue, or even Bright Yellow. I think any of those could look pretty cool too

Great choice of BBK by the way! I'm wanting the same ones

Both those colors will look great on your OB coupe. Prior to doing anything think about what theme you want for your ride. If you change anything under the hood what color are you going with....understand? Gold always looks the best with OB coupes....
