That is a beautiful car, Dune.
The silver is perfect with the black.

I would go with red but I would really like to see some done in silver for comparison.

I actually went a different route. I have a white stang with black accents. I chose black rims, black dimpled & slotted rotors & painted my calipers white.





Update: Found pics a little closer up with the wheels on...


To each their own, but I think all accents should match. i really don't understand why people would paint their calipers a color that is nowhere else on the car....not knocking anything at all, if it looks great to you then that's all that matters. Just chiming in with my $0.02

topless stang...I think your white calipers look good with your white car.....good choice. I didn't know you could buy black rotors.....where did you get those?

After much consideration......decided to go with silver, but not with paint, instead, hit them with my drill and a wire brush wheel. They are not perfect It's not perfect, as I could have got some black paint and touched up the black part, but I decided not to.
