Just got the Akebono brake kit for my 03 g35 I have a black coupe with the Vertini Majic in matte black gloss lip. what color Calipers should i do?

1 Metalic Silver
2 Red
3 Yellow
4 Lambo Green

 

Yellow or red but we talked about that already.

 

Are you planning on doing any other color changes inside the engine bay or elsewhere? Pick a color that will flow with the rest of your ride, and accent the car as a whole. Personally, I think All black rims are butt ugly, and I think it'd look silly to have calipers of any color other then black behind black rims like what you have, however seeing as how you haven't changed to clear corners, and if you really want a color other then black, I suggest Amber, so that it matches your side markers.

 

imho, the factory gold that comes on the z & g brembos looks great!

especially behind the gloss black wheels.

 

yellow

 

Get clear corners and then go metallic silver. Then you'd have a two colored color scheme going: silver heads, corners (well close to silver), and calipers; black body and wheels. They won't draw attention away from the rest of the car and will provide a clean and flowing look. My .02.

 

I second that. Brembo gold looks great on a black G.

But since that wasn't one of your poll options, I vote red.

 

Silver. You don't want anything too abstract that draws unnecessary attention to it.

 

yellow or red, your supposed to draw attention to bbk lol..didn't spend that money just to stop

 

To each their own... but I use brakes just to stop, lol.

 

When we spend major $$ on custom wheels is it smart to focus attention on the brakes or lugs? I honestly haven't seen a set of calipers I liked (except Big Cs) painted any color other than silver or black. With the OB coupe and black wheels retain the stealth look and paint them black....Gary

 

a good bbk costs just as much or the same as the wheels in front of them...black wheels on a black car with black brakes? hell no lol

 

Would you seriously spend $4K to $6K on wheels/tires and put yellow/red calipers behind them? Even if you spent those kinda $$ on a BBK they don't stop your ride any better than OE brakes? Not from those members I've talked to....Gary

 

maybe i'm biased lol

 

shoulda gotten something with a chrome lip or something of that nature if you really wanted metallic silver. all black wheels look hideous IMO. back to the OP if i had to choose one id commit suicide first LOL
