Do black. Mine are red right now, looks good, but I kinda want to switch to black.
black calipers on a black car? im trying to picture what that would look like.
i wouldnt wanna do anything that screams hey look at me and i know Red is pretty common (although i dont think it looks bad on a black car)

haha oh I didn't even realize his car color. then I would do silver. Black and red is a really good color combo my car is silver with red calipers and it looks hawt, but yea it's lame it's a common color. you could do like a dark blue.. like navyOriginally Posted by jrockstarr

I wouldn't paint them IMO. It'd just make it look ghetto, like Honda guys painting their rear drums red. Whether you get a good quality rattle can or not, I think it'd still be noticeably painted. But to each his own, and if this is what you want vs. upgrading your brakes then go for it.

lighty sand, high heat black, "Infiniti" decal, high heat clear. My buddy did this to his volvo recently and it looks like sex.

Unless you have a BBK paint them black! That will look clean on your OB coupe....

black looks best on any color imo. its subtle yet changes the oem look a little. i did black with a good caliper paint and was sure to wash them thoroughly before hand and turned out great.
