i feel the red calipers will only look good on ceritn colors such as red, black, white, grey, IOM, and possible yellow. ever see a blue car with red brakes is brutal. the second color for brake pads is usaly black or yellow. black goes with any color and yellow goes nicly with, yellow, blue, black, grey, orange and white.

to each their own tho i would pay the extra money to get the calipers whatever color i feel nessicary. ( yea i know my spelling sucks huge)

Red is too flashy, imo. Even on high-end cars like Porche's, and the few Lambos I see...I think the red calipers look ridiculous.

Camaro, by using silver/gunmetal (NOT parts-bin grey ) gives off a more down-to-business feeling to me.

This is kind of contradictory to me. Porche, Lambo, Ferrari, and even Camaro are all flashy cars to begin with. They're SUPPOSED to have red Brembos!

Now red calipers on a Honda Civic, that is ridiculous looking.

Red is nice, but I just don't care. We've got so many good things in the Camaro that red calipers just aren't on the list of must-have features for me. Those of you that want to paint them will have a fun little weekend project.

They're definitely flashy attention-getters, for sure!!

I get that reaction a lot whenever I say that, though. It might just be that I don't like bright red on cars at all...but red calipers have never been my thing. Blue...silver...(I've seen a few orange and yellow)...those I like. They add character behind the rims, especially Blue...red just never sat well with me.

How are you going to get the Chevrolet and Brembo lettering on your painted calipers?

The poll is skewed. How about those of us who like the silver and don't think GM needs to open up the option?

Well, Orange is also a Brembo Standard Color.

My first car.





As is silver. This is actually the same exact brake setup we're getting.

Blue cars with red brakes? I don't think it's so bad.















That having been said, I still like the silver calipers.
