Caliper colors (now updated with photochops)
I've grown tired of bare metal brake calipers, but I'm having trouble deciding what color to paint them. Red is out of the question, so don't even ask

White
Jet Black
Flat Black
Dark Grey
and Red [:'(]

RE: Caliper colors
haha - until I read the last sentence of your post I was going to say red (*gasp*) 
But I voted for the flat black w/ logos. My reason is that I think with you color combo, black would look good, and I said flat black because I don't think you'd want them to stand out TOO much. But the logos would add enough of a custom look that they wouldn't go unnoticed either.
And on a side note, I'm typically not a big fan of white cars, but with the GT/CS package on the white, I love it. I'd seen your car on here before, but the pic you posted really makes it look good.
There's my $0.02
Cheers!

RE: Caliper colors
Well since red is not an option, although it would probably look sexy on your car, I'm gonna say black, and flat black would be nice because of thempretty rims. With the lettering, i wish i put them on mine when i painted em

RE: Caliper colors
Sounds like if you had Red as a choice it would be leading right now.... I would have voted red too but I went with white with the mustang logo but I don't know how much of a pain the white calipers will be to keep clean. But then again you've got white all over your car

The reason red isn't a choice is because I personally can't stand red calipers on a white car (unless it also has red stripes)

Actually, since you're a Photoshop guru, can we see some mockups of a couple of the options? I'd like to see what the black would look like...I'd like to see what the red would look like too (doh - somebody stop me).
Sorry, Joolander, just giving ya $h!t!
Seriously, though, how about a black caliper mockup?
