i just got my 18" coupe rims powdercoated "heavy Steel" using Prismatic powders line of powdercoats. . .i was hoping it would turn out a little darker, but i'm starting to like it more and more, especially since i have to live with it now! anyways, since i just ordered the Akebono brake it, and plan on likely painting my calipers red. . .wanted to get people's input on it. . looking at my car, it feels i need something that just pops out and makes you think "damn, that's pretty tight". . you know what i'm talking about , and red calipers on a big brake set up to me is the way to go! g35driver member comments are always welcome! thanks

 

red would be cool, gold would be cool too.

 

They aren't brembos, gold will make you look like a poser. It's a sedan, like me so red is too sporty.

I say silver, or black. I have black wheels with a chrome lip and I painted mine black. It's not a BBK so you don't really want to show off your stock calipers.

Just my opinion though, if you dig red do it up, it looks good on some peoples cars. G-man for example has red on his silver sedan and it looks pretty bad ***.

 

OP said he just purchased akebono kit

 

I completely read past that!

Red would look good because they are bigger calipers, go RED.

 

I love the Akebono BBK, I just wished the INFINITI Akebono BBKs were darker like the NISSAN Akebono BBKs.
If they made the INFINITI Akebono BBK the same color as the NISSAN Akebono BBK, it'd be sick!

 

wow, that's a pretty sick color, carbon black looking. . .but yea, i'm definitley going RED. . .even though its been done alot, it'll still look good! plus here in salt lake city, you don't see many modded Infiniti G's!
