What color Calipers would you choose?

I have a black camaro with the white stripe package along with the style 41 satin black wheels. I'm not to happy with how my stock calipers look and i am planning on having them powder coated. What color combo would you go with if you had my set up?

I've also been contemplating going with the ctsv for my fronts. Have you switched over to this larger calipers setup for your fronts? How do you like the results?

Red with white and black stickers.

You can also change out your tail light bezels along with front & rear bowtie colors to link the colors together

I have seen white and it looks good as long as you keep them wiped off.

Red or yellow calipers look good on a black camaro!

Depends what look you're going for. EX: Aggressive, subtle, LOOK AT ME, etc.

Plan on doing mine in Red. Think that looks best on Black. I think a bright blue would look good as well, but I don't care for blue.

White looks killer, but you have to keep them clean. When I bought my wheels, I went for the color of brake dust (dark grey) so I don't have to constantly clean them.

Best regards,
