Help me decide on caliper color
Could someone please photoshop/change the color of my stock silver calipers to red in one pic and yellow in another? It's hard to see in this pic but I applied yellow overlays to the small bowtie outline in the center of the wheels and they look good so I was wondering if yellow calipers would also. Of course red usually looks good. Thanks!

IMO calipers on a dark car should contrasts with it's color and on a clear paint like white, yellow they look better with same car color calipers.
The inner wheels are dark and calipers don't show much if in a dark color like black. I have caliper cover on my Rally Yellow with Yellow calipers.

No disrespect to the above poster but don't do a cover. They look cheap and... well like a cover in person.
I painted my own calipers. It takes time but mine look flawless... I'm not patting my own back. I have maybe $50 in them total... and time. I can give you tips or help you if you want. You would be out your car for several days to do it right to allow the paint to cure. |

Thanks to all for the replies/opinions. Looks like red wins and I can't argue with that. I already have red caliper paint from a previous car so that's another reason to go red.
